    Ah, the 50's, the decade where kitchen electric appliances of varying sizes were very popular and sold everywhere around the country. Today's featured item is the General Electric Rotisserie Oven from around 1958. This dandy little cooker roasted your chicken anywhere you please. It is small enough to use in a camper, and easily sits on a counter or a table. This small oven could hold a decent sized chicken and cooks it thoroughly. Unlike today's cheap counterparts, these vintage appliances like this one really did what it's supposed to do: Rotate a cooking chicken to cook it through and through. As you can see in the first photo, you can partially see the box it came in. (the picture wasn't big enough to show both items completely without showing great details.) I have also included a photo of an ad that GE used in various magazines and on posters in 1958. (Unlike the oven itself, the ads are dated.) This item was just introduced that year, so I imagine it sold well from it being a trusty brand of product. Toasters is the closest kitchen category this could relate to since there is no oven entry. This I believe was a poster instead of a magazine insert.

    I will have a post of my McCoy pottery collection once I take a picture of it. The pieces in the photo will not be all of them, as I have some in the shed that are a (insert unmentionable word here) to get out.
