The Amazing Toast-o-Lator
The Space-Age Suburban dream ... efficient and space-saving all at once! This is a late 40s Toast-o-Lator. It is approximately four inches wide.  The toast is "walked" past the heating elements on an escalator-like device and the dropped out on the other side onto your waiting plate. What could be easier?
But wait! There's more Modern Style!

Roseville, Rookwood, McCoy, Van Briggle ... affordable Art Pottery made in the early days of the 20th Century that now command high prices! On the left is a Roseville "Bushberry" jardinier pedestal. Like most jardiniers, an early frost did the planter in, but the pedestal survives. To the right is another piece of Roseville, a small "Freesia" jardinier. Below the Freesia jardinier is a Rookwood vase from 1927.  A variety of useful and beautiful objects were created by American Art Potteries and filled Early Modern homes with Arts and Crafts style beauty and Art Deco elegance!

The Silex Coffee Pot: If you look closely at kitchen scenes of 1940s films, you'll spot a Silex coffee maker sitting on the counter or the electric range. The films "Sunset Boulevard" and "In a Lonely Place" feature brief cameos of this wonderful coffee maker.  While contemporary chrome electric coffee makers are nice, wouldn't you really rather look at one of these? I would and I suspect you would, too..  I'm still trying to figure out just how the coffee is made ... and why I can't find one these!
