Craig in Pennsylvania bought this model toaster and wrote to say "There are not enough words to describe my pleasure, and satisfaction, with my purchase. My neighbor just saw it and commented how they're making them to look just like the old ones. . . there's something about holding something, as old or older, than yourself, that appears as if new. Thanks." |
Sunbeam Automatic pop-upPeerless for design and quality, the Sunbeam Automatic Pop Up toaster has an incised design surrounding a glass jewel on the face of the toaster finished with bakelite handles and base. Controls for Light/Dark, as well as "Keeps Toast Warm" or "Pops Toast Up". It has a large, easy-to-open crumb door. It has been fully refurbished and in tip-top condition mechanically.This model is in the permanent design collection of several museums. And, you can have one of your own, or give one as a special gift, clean as a whistle, in very good condition and working as it did originally when it was brand new. Sunbeam Automatic Pop Up Toaster |
David in Bossier City bought this model toaster and wrote to say The toaster arrived safely this past week. I've been looking at your site for years and I'm glad I finally made a purchase. Using this will be so much more satisfying than some cheap toaster bought at some discount store. I'm actually trying to use it once a day! Everything works fine and I really liked the old advertisement you included in the box. Thank you so much for your swift service. Maybe one of these days I'll get a waffle iron to. |
1938 Toastmaster Automatic Pop Up Toaster"Begin the Beguine" recorded by Artie Shaw was at the top of the hit parade when when this model Toastmaster was introduced and it was very popular for Christmas 1938 as advertised in Esquire magazine.This toaster has a chrome-plated body incised with parallel lines that wrap around the corners with concentric circles on each side. The base and handles are made of Bakelite. The top of the toaster slopes toward the push-down lever side. A light/dark knob controls the clockwork timing mechanism. The bottom of the toaster is designed to easily remove the crumbs because the bottom is shaped into a convex curve with openings formed at either end, so one can simply hold the toaster over the sink and with a tap and a blow, remove the crumbs. For a more thorough cleaning, the bottom comes off easily with two thumb screws. The slots measure five inches long, three-quarters of an inch wide, and four and a half inches deep. This one is in very good condition with a new cord and works just fine. This toaster is NOT good for toasting fat bagels but makes good toast. 1938 Toastmaster Automatic Pop Up Toaster
