Percolator fun!

[polkanut]

Veg,

I found a West Bend perc like yours in the Scandia pattern, and it hardly heats the water. I bought it at an estate sale, and it looks like it was never used, just taken out of the box and looked at. I love my Corning Electric perc, Spice of Life pattern.

Oh no you didn't.....

start a coffee pot thread over here, and not tell me. Terry, what am I gonna do with you?

Gary - look familiar? The box you have with yours is fantastic.

I'm so sorry Rick, I forgot that you were into coffee pots as well!!LOL I do believe that Universal Regency is the most elegant of all!!! Gary, where in the world did you ever get that box?>?WOW Greg, Great idea, I think I might start doing the same display. My shelf for coffeemakers is full and this will really help!!

Gary, where in the world did you ever get that box?

At a Tag Sale Terry.

That is one of my favorite perks.

Here is the most expensive perk in my colletion. Think it cost me nearly $150 years ago from Ebay.

A shitload of 'em

A REAL Farberware perc, Pyrex, and 1958 Sunbeam toaster

 

[jasonl]

A Starbucks french press, an old grinder, a Chinese Farberware, two Sunbeams, a 40s Kenmore, two Corningwares (one stovetop, one Electromatic). ALL work, except the one sunbeam (that's halfway open) needs a new gasket.

The percolator drawing is called The Brook.

It was done by Eric Sloane.

He can be found on the web.

Keith must be keeping our Veg preoccupied, LOL.

Cornflower.

Veg, I love the Cornflower! If I had more money than I do now, I would have considerably more Cornflower. I have even considered eventually looking into having Cornflower wallpaper printed. I think it might be a bit much for a whole room, but it would look good on one wall, with some display shelves for Cornflower percolators and such. Also, it would drive my housemate nuts.

I love my percolators, but at heart I am a vacuum pot man,

Dave- Conflower scores--

I've had my best Blue Cornflower scores at places like Goodwill and similar......My first love in Corning is Spice O'Life, but Blue Cornflower is a very close second.

Super Fast

I bought what I thought was an NIB 4 cup Farberware Superfast at Sally Ann"s for $2.99. I came home ready to make coffee and when I cut the tape and opened the box there was no basket inside.
