"Caw-fee II(the sequel)

[gansky1]

"closet" is a general term around here too, that could be considered the whole house some days! It would take a couple of hours to gather everything into one spot for a photo-op.

My grandmother had the 8 and 4 cup versions of the drip coffeemakers - heating water in a teakettle, pouring into the glass bowl, the process was half the fun. I would sit watching and listening the whole time the water was filtering through...

I have found lots of Corning in the last few months, I refuse to buy it on Ebay when I find it at thrift stores and estate/garage sales for next to nothing. I should inventory what I have now and make a list of things I'd like to find. I have service for about 900 now of the Corning Centura tableware - Cornflower and the white Coupe designs. Almost indestructible!

Question............

Could there possibly be a ‘patent’ infringement????
The pot on the left is the one by Eric Sloane and started off this thread. It is made by Corning and has the removable insert.

The pot on the right is by West Bend. It is all stainless steel and has a very similar removable insert and uses the same ‘flat’ plug that is used by Corning Ware(and notice the bottom...no need for a trivet).

How could two different manufacturers use the same design?

Anyone care to venture ‘out’????

BTW...Nice price on that Universal 'faceted' pot(that started it all off in the Coffee Pot thread).....$53.00

And L@@K Veg.....no 'cookie jar'~!

OK, that's it. I gotta have one. You guys have percolated percolating thoughts into my vacuum pot mind. It's called an Electromatic. I love anything that's "omatic". That means that Helen can enjoy her life without all the hassle and drudgery of doing things manually.

But some things are best done by hand

(ducks and runs.... whoosh)

 

[gadgetgary]

Oh Jason....some things are best done by hand

Don't blame me for the conversion......percolated percolating thoughts

Ducks, runs, skips g**ly forward......

 

[gansky1]

I would guess that West Bend made the inserts for Corning?

Great scans, I've never seen instructions for these before.

From one Queen to another.

But he says he is a prince. ............

...who could argue?

With all due respect to Perc-o-prince, who IMHO is just as worthy of the title of QC.

 

[gadgetgary]

Mr. Gadget.....*Queen Coffee*!

I hold my head up high and proud and accept the crown. My reign thru Automatic Washer will be held in the utmost esteem.

Thank you for that honor~!

Veg:

Perhaps this rainbow bandana along with the crown and diamonds will take the place of 'Gaylord"

QC:

Wear it high, or wear it low. Enjoy

 

[foraloysius]

Darn,

I saw one of those Corningware Percolators at a thrift store here. Unfortunately the glass lid was broken. I must return and see if it's still there.

 

[gadgetgary]

I, Queen Cloaca, hearby crown you, Mr. Gadget,

My mission is to walk with that crown in honor of all my Automatic Washer friends, a totally unique group.
You all deserve the best and I for one, plan on keeping up my end of the BAHGAIN~!-wink-

OMG~!

Way too much CAW-FEE.....Now what have we done?????

 

[perc-o-prince]

that odd glass perc is by Inland Glass,

Hey Veg,

What is making you think it might be Inland Glass? I've never heard of that but I'm interested!!!

With all due respect to Perc-o-prince

I must remain a prince, for now, as my mum is still alive

Actually, Perc-o-Prince was chosen because of the line of Perk-O products that were produced by Armstrong in the 1920's. I have been collecting these unique coffee percolators/makers for a while and just love them. I would be happy to post some pics if anyone is interested in seeing what they look like. Very advanced for the time!

Brand new!

My own humble addition to this great thread, I stopped at a basement sale today downtown and found a few fun things - these are brand new, never used. The Universal perk is one I've seen many times but usually well-loved and not worth bringing home. This one is non in the box, but nearly perfect and for $1, who could resist? The Sunbeam steam iron is also NIB and was $3!

 

[perc-o-prince]

I stopped at a basement sale today

What great deals!!

I love the Universal. I had one but gave it as a "Yankee Swap" gift at the last wash-in. Nice to find the iron in the box!

Perk-O products

Rich,

Please, please, please post your pics~!

 

[tlee618]

Great finds Greg!! Terry

Older Farberware

My aunt had one of these and always loved the elegant look of the band.....

Take note of 'Gaylord'

 

[gadgetgary]

And the bottom

It is my understanding that this particular perc-o-lator does not automatically shut off....one must simply pull the plug to stop the perc-o-lation.

And what about that fuse in the bottom?
Can someone please explain(chime in 'Gaylord'-don't be shy)?

 

[toggleswitch]

..and look at the motif that is like tribal banding!

My mom has this one; Where she got it i don't recall.

How COOL is that fuse wheel with the lead *fusible link*
you have 8 or 9 chances before having to replace it.

I suppose they were afraid of it boiling dry during brewing or when pugged in (without guts)to reheat coffee.

No automatic (*I'm done*) thermostat.
No signal indicator light.
No keep-warm element.

Still SO SO SO elegant
