Antique Toasters

[MIPS]

Well here's a really weird turn of events!

I'm at the Value Village and on the shelf is a fancy looking green handled chrome toaster. It looks like it was barely used.





Looks to be the late 60's or even the early 70's and sold by Eatons under the Viking appliance line. Fully CSA certified.
(Edited: It's a rebrand of a Proctor-Silex from 1970/1971)
This is a toaster I'd use, except for one thing. The plastics are excellent. The cord is likewise in perfect condition. but it doesn't use Mica for the heating element insulation. It uses ASBESTOS!



This is going to live in a bag for the meantime. In the future I have an idea to make a clear acrylic enclosure to store it in so it can be on display.
