Been listening to Cole Porter lately, and if he didn't write a song named "Toast of the Town", he'd probably have written one about this little gem. It's a Sunbeam, with original wiring. Works, too.

That light, that blinding light!
The little red light on the front is not a separate lamp, but rather the light of the red hot coils transmitted to the magic cut glass crystal... Here's a close-up:

Very cool Rich!! May I bring the marmalade or honey? What preserves/hjelly do you prefer then.
T-9!
Drool!
I have been keeping my eye out for one of those for years! Anyone remember seeing them in the 80s and 90s Kellogg's Pop Tarts commercials? I do wonder why they used a toaster made from 1939-1952 in commercials in the 80s and 90s. If you ever need to replace the cord, try Sundial Wire. They make some very nice modern cloth covered wire. It looks old, but has the safety of new. I have used it and really like it.
How well does it toast?

Well, I didn't realize this was such a classic item, only that I really liked the shape of it. Also have never seen the Pop-tart commerical - or if I did, I never noticed what kind of toaster was in it.
Also got a chrome 50's era Toastmaster. One bakelite handle is broken. Is there any way to get replacement handles?
I'll post a photo anon.

Here's the Toastmaster 1B-14:
Broken Handle
Brown Bakelite, too... toast lever still works fine, just missing the curvy part of the handle...

Kim,
Thanks, email is on its way...
Retromom,
No, I don't think it's the self lowering kind. In fact, I think the spring needs adjusting and probably the tracks need cleaning. But it does work!
