Formal Parallel Lines

Formal Parallel Lines

There are no curlicues on this toaster, rather a sleek, clean design featuring a pair of three parallel vertical straight raised ridges which continue from the door onto the base. The knobs are turned wood and show three ridges. This one has a bell that would 'ding' when the toast was done. It will still ding if you shake the toaster.

Great Look but Awful Design

Spherical Thermal Carafe

What a great look, I thought, but after I got this one home, cleaned and tried to use it, I discover that you have to completely turn the thing over to get the last of the liquid out. I think it is really stupid design. Oh well, it's probably from the 1970s. The glass inside is intact, and yes, it will keep liquids hot or cold. Or, just to look at.

Excel Electric Corn Popper with Red Crank

This attractive corn popper was made in Muncie, Indiana by Excel Electric Company about 1925 before they changed their name to Excel Manufacturing. It has turned wood handles and knob covered in a nice deep red enamel. Although I've never seen the original instructions, I believe these poppers were intended to operate without adding oil. I did a couple of test batches of popcorn, but I didn't have the right cranking technique and some of the popped kernels still scorched.

This popper has suffered some hard use, and the nickel over steel plating is stained with some spots of corrosion, most notably on the Excel name and rust on the steel interior. While it may still work, I'm selling it as a decorator piece not intended for use, and without a cord set.
