D -12 Toaster This toaster is considered to be
the first commercially produced toaster offered in America. The basic
story is told on the preceding page. This is an early model, and unlike
most found has its rack, and an original cord with the porcelain connectors at
the appliance end and a screw in plug on the receptacle end as when this toaster
was first offered there were more light bulb sockets available than wall
receptacles. A rare and desirable toaster for the discriminating
collector. SOLD!
Porcelier Basket Weave Floral Porcelain Electric Toaster Certainly one of the prettiest toasters ever to grace the breakfast table this porcelain toaster was manufactured by the Porcelier Mfg. Co. of Greensburg, PA. The body of this toaster was designed with an intricate basket weave pattern with a scalloped edge top and with a diamond pattern border on the base, and was decorated with brightly colored floral designs and gold striping. It features two applied handles, an On / Off switch with spring loaded pop-up, and a Light / Dark regulator, all in porcelain as well. Obviously it was expensive to produce in its day, and no doubt it must have had a hard time competing with all those less expensive chrome models that were available, thus explaining why so few were made or found today. It is one of the rarest and hard to find of all manufactured toasters and is a great looker to boot.. This example is in super condition with no chips, nicks or cracks---provided with a cord, probably not the original. SOLD!
