I finally found one of these on eBay. They don't come up for auction very often and I have never seen one with a tray. This one was from an estate sale and it works perfectly.

That tray
Is a Corning ware warmer, a candle sits down in the recess.

John...nah, I'm more of a Carrington mansion type of guy! 
Very Nice
Dormeyer certainly knew how to position their products. Quality was there, too.

I wonder whatever happened to the Dormeyer Corporation. Did they just fade away or get bought out?
Lucky find
I have one as well and call it the Cleopatra perk. The gold wash is apparently real gold and I have to agree with Hans I think the tray isn't original to the perk.

Petek, do you have any pictures of your percolator? I also agree that the tray doesn't seem to go with it. I'm not even going to use it so I didn't know why they would have included it in the sale.
That is one sharp looking coffee pot! Wonder what the original cost was, had to be up there. Congrats on a great find.
I've never actually made a pot of coffee in mine only tested it with water and it worked fine. Sorry the pic came out terrible
Petek, that's a great picture. The percolator looks very well cared for.
Cute little perk pot you've got there
Looks like something Mrs. Stephen Haines would serve her guests coffee with after luncheon at her home in Great Neck, Long Island.

It been protected by a goodly layer of dust I had to clean off. Actually it is in beautiful condition, looks like it was barely used.
I think it's pretty neat that when the perking cycle is complete the little switch at the side flips up. I also noticed that the strength selector moved over to the left on its own!

A close up
Here's a close up of the controls on my late grandmother's Dormeyer Coffee-Well. On this model the strength selector doesn't move when it's done perking. It's a very audible sound when it flips up from brew to warm.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">It's always so cool to find something that you really like and doesn't set you back and arm and a leg. That classy percolator is a good reason to bring back the tradition of after-dinner coffee.</span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">In the excellent 1950 film "Harriet Craig" Joan Crawford reads the riot act to housekeeper Mrs. Harold... "Don't you ever intend to serve the coffee? My guests are still waiting!"</span>

Harriet Craig
Joan Crawford doing what she did best; playing a hard riding, scheming and manipulating b**th.

Is the coffee ready yet?
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Not to sidetrack this topic from the Dormeyer Golden Goddess, even though Harriet's friends, cousin and husband all desert her at the end of the film, I always thought she ended up the winner. You can always find another husband like Walter, but where are you going to find another property like that house?</span>

Do you think people actually used these coffee makers daily? It just seems too fancy for everyday. More like something you'd have on the buffet or something along with a fancy tea serving.
