    fortapache
    (3422 items)

    The ultimate toaster oven hot plate etc device. The last patent date on this is December 1922. So this is from sometime after 1922 and probably before 1930.
    This has three removable trays. I think there is supposed to be a handle on the removable tray seen on the left in photo #3. There was also an optional waffle iron that would go on top.
    This example has an attractive sea foam green enamel finish on the top section. Others have a white finish and some just have the steel finish.
    I am missing the cord but not quite sure if I would want to plug this in. Actually I would so probably best the I don't have the cord.

      Love the enamel on it.
      Glad you know your weaknesses - best not be able to "give it a go".

      Thank you very much racer4four. I do like my vintage electric appliances even if they explode now and then.

      Well, you've got more guts than me, that's for sure! I'd be too chicken to plug in something this old!!! ZAP!!! [;>)))))

      I need this--The gas company tagged my stove as a danger to the neighborhood. As soon as a strong man comes by here I have left it here in the kitchen. I bought a $10, small hotplate--and that is all I have to cook on. I love the idea of the appliance you have. GREAT!! Some company should bring this back!!! I'd be first in line to buy one. Maybe an electrician can give it an OK for use.
      Remember when they had little electronic repair shops all over for your toaster, iron, fan, , etc. They are gone, gone, gone. I guess we are just supposed to throw everything out and buy new.

      You are going to need this "Table Cookery" cookbook! Amazing!

      What an amazing appliance! You could live in a skeevy SRO and have gourmet meals everyday. So cool!!

      CELIENE!! MY DEAR! WHAT A GREAT LINK--everybody, don't miss it- I am thrilled!! Thanks!

      Thank you very much NevadaBlades. I would use a a power strip with circuit breakers but I have had some fireworks before and a fried power strip.

      Thank you very much PostCardCollector. Unfortunate that your stove was condemned. I have two vintage hot plates that work. I could use a propane powered one for backup.

      Thank you ever so much Celiene. I am going to need to get that book. Plus perhaps another with less rust along with the accessories seen in the book. Also I want the book.

      This is great fort. Very clean and nice for the age. You must know folks but if you love it as is then you keep it that way!!
      Oh, Postcard..we need to find you a fella. ;) Or maybe just a handy man.:)
      That's what they used to be called..LOL. They certainly don't make things like they use to. ;)
