Always on the Sunny Side
This antique toaster has a nice art deco style, made in the 1920s by Landers Frary and Clark in New Britain Connecticut. The swing arm mechanism works fine and was designed to flip the bread to enable toasting on both sides. Nice nickel finish, could use a good cleaning and polishing. There is no cord included with this gem. Vintage toaster measures 6 1/2 inches tall, base is 7 inches by 4 inches. SOLD.
There are three 19th century antique bottles sitting on the window sill on top of an old Singer Sewing Machine cabinet drawer. I’ve had them forever, never really thought about selling any of them until I started to do a little research and started asking around about them.
One of them, the teal Gargling Oil bottle made in Lockport New York, is rather common. This one I have listed in my shop on Artfire ~ PattyAnn’s Vintage and Other Cool Stuff.
The other two are not so common and would make a fine addition to someone’s antique bottle collection. They are not currently listed for sale but I have gotten a few offers. Interested? Make me an offer I can’t refuse – Contact Me Here
