Just for you......
This beauty is from Universal(Landers, Frary, & Clark) that was in New Britain, Connecticut. This particular coffeemaker takes the 'larger' pronged plug, the same as in the older 'garlanded' Farberware that I posted yesterday.
This coffeemaker was given to me by a customer of mine who is downsizing her home and did not want this pot to go to the 'crusher'. She was the original owner and it is in pristine condition.

Just for you......

Thanks!!! That is quite a looker. I do tend to favor the early percs/vac pots BUT, because of you, I have gained a new appreciation for the newer ones to the point that I purchased the clear plastic Oster that you picture in your earlier post!! There are a few others, as well, that I will look for when hitting the thrift shops.
 
Here's a Universal from my mini perc collection. Not sure how old it is but the plastic handle looks like an older type plastic than some of my 50's and newer ones which are definitely plastic plastic, this one might be the real thing bakelite (which is overused for anything plastic)

Universal

Very nice Pete...I have one of those too. They are very heavy and I believe the bottom is totally copper with an overlay. They were manufactured in New Britain, Connecticut.
I believe it might be late 40's or early 50's, but don't quote me on that. Any one else care to guess the vintage? Please feel free to chime in.
 
I always thought it interesting how similar this type of Universal looks to the earlier Sunbeam percolator.
