Terry,

A convention? What a great idea.

What could the 'colorful' theme possibly be????

Perks, stems, knobs, buttons, dials, baskets, plugs, cords, spreaders, and Oh yeah.......

A Big Urn

Shall We Dance?

The song that goes, "Percolater, Percolator. I like coffee and I like tea. Another cup a coffee is enough for me. I like coffee and I like tea. Another cup a coffee is enough for me. Percolater,Percolater."
I love to dance and always said, I'd rather dance than have sex. At least I know I'll have a partner!
That was a song in the post war era and ia a great tune to do the Jitterbug with.
So, when is the convention and who is the band?

Oh child, methinks you are playing with fire!

Miss Manhattan......

Too much to drink?

Too much to eat???

Laying in that vertical compromising position????

Can I perk you some CAW-FEE so you can kick back....relax....enjoy with some hot fresh spurting brew??????

Just what do you think our festive Merman is sitting on?????

--blush--
Is this a TRICK question?

Tell us Mr. Gadget.... Just WHAT is he sitting on?

 

[polkanut]

I have the yellow GE, and my parents have the black one. They are SUPER fast, and make a delicious brew.

 

[gadgetgary]

Tell us Mr. Gadget.... Just WHAT is he sitting on?

It is an absolutely FABULOUS genuine Corning Ware tea kettle. It is solid Corning Ware throughout...as well as the lid. It is quite heavy, and, as the perk that was made of porcelain, I believe that a 'hernia' is right in line as you serve your favorite beverage with boiled water. It is just so 'one of a kind' and a show stopper.

Is this a TRICK question?

Methinks you are in the wrong season.......
Trick or Treat...Smell my f**t........

Hmmmm...Could I possibly have left the infamous toggleswitch speechless? Hair ball dear?....Clear that throat and get back to us....

Dental floss????

BOO~!

Love those GE percolators! Funny, the one with the interesting color metal, I saw one of thos on Ebay once and thought it was damaged. I could not *imagine* what they had done to that coffeemaker! And here, that's the way it apparently was all along! The oldest of the black trimmed ones of this style has a stainless steel, rather than black, lid.

Do any of yours have their mini-baskets??

 

[brettsomers]

let me get this straight, that GE perk was NOT sprayed for a whimsical *crafty* effect? it came from the GE factories like that?

Yes David, that perk came like that. It is such a neat looking perk.

Yes Scott, I have a few mini-brew baskets in orange. Please note the picture. The oldest of the black trimmed ones of this style has a stainless steel, rather than black, lid.
Any other requests?????

CAFFE'?

Oh, I know not so much people love italian coffee, but here you can find THE ONLY REAL ITALIAN COFFEE MAKER, "LA CAFFETTIERA"!

The incredible amount of coffee drunk here is made often in "caffettiere" like these! They exist in many measures (we use the cups for measuere), 1-2-3-4-6-12-18 cups, but not big as american one!!)

Only alluminium (that must never be washed with detergent, or in DW!!!), can give you the best italian coffee!

Put the water in the lower part, add the coffee powder in the filter put in the lower part, then screw the upper part onto the lower one and put the caffettiera on cooktop! In less then ten minutes the water rises (we say "il caffè è salito") throw the coffee and you get the coffee done!

In the morning after we have woke up it's a MUST! Less after lunch, but quite often the same!

So what's the scoop on the psychedelic GE? At first, I thought you had Photoshopped the picture. Any idea how it was advertised?

Or who the target market might have been...?

[scott55405]

Cool!

 

[gadgetgary]

So what's the scoop on the psychedelic GE?

Saw it on Ebay....Fell in love....won the auction...and as they say....

The Love affair began~!

Have no idea how it was advertised or sold.

 

[veg-o-matic]

Then we must do some research! That perc is too unusual not to have a story attached to it.

Veg,

Your mission has been set. Do your research and report back to us. Will be holding our B**LS waiting for the final eruption of every brewing detail...........

You're going to win a ribbon (or a sash!) for one of the most popular threads!

That GE is the coolest! I've never seen that color/design before but I'll keep my eyes open now...

Thanks for all the pictures, it's been fun following these threads.

I am just happy to bring a 'smile' to your face as I unveil my collection of those spurting wonders known as a 'percolator'(now what were you really thinking????)
