I can't remember if this was ever posted before but regardless it's a well done website on many things vintage with lotsa pictures etc. The page that comes up in the link isn't the home page so there's plenty more to see. I just linked to this page because it details the manufacture of cheesy appliances by the Bersted company in the 40's and 50's after they bought out a lot of well known and better quality manufacturers.. so it's kinda like a deja vu of whats happening now has all been done before, long before.
