History of Dulane
Stanley J. Budlane and Robert Dusek, in 1950, created Dulane with their first patented fryer, the Fryryte. Nessco then purchased Dulane in the mid-1950s, and the rights to the Fryryte. Sometime in the 1960’s, Sunbeam purchased the Fryryte. Dormeyer, on the otherhand, who was in direct competition with Dulane and Nessco, introduced their version of the Fryryte, called the Fry-Well in 1952 or 1953. Almost identical to the Fryryte, Dormeyer was always the high-end appliance so if you wanted a fryer like this, most would opt for the less expensive Fryryte. I hope this answers your question.
