Vintage GE 25T83 Toaster

-
This past weekend my boyfriend and I discovered this awesome Vintage General Electric Toaster in the attic. I love vintage kitchen pieces but unfortunately we do not have enough space to keep everything we find!


Here are the specs:

  • Vintage General Electric 25T83 Toaster in chrome. 
  • It has brown bakelite handles, two slots for toast and a bottom drawer for oven use. 
  • The toaster oven has settings for oven or toaster and it also has three heat settings for oven warming: light, medium and dark. 
  • The bottom drawer handle has an oven toaster chart on it to help you choose the best settings for pastries or toast!
  • This has not been tested but worked when last used about 15 years ago. Has been in storage since. 

This toaster has been SOLD! Thanks for looking!

    That is SO neat! I love that it's got the chart and the neat settings on the front.

    My parents recieved one of these in 1959 as a wedding present, so I remember growing up with a this different toaster. I will acquire one soon as every time I see one online, I just want to touch one again and hear the sound it makes when it pops up. I believe there is some cool repressed memory that this will spark.

    For those Mad Men fans out there, this is the very same model Don & Betty Draper have in their kitchen - very nice example of a classic chrome toaster!

    I love the bagels feature which allows you to toast only one side. Previously I was using a toaster Oven but it just did not do the bagels well. This is perfect and fits my kitchen both in the space it takes and its design. Nice simple set-up, highly recommend…..

Tobacco Town: The George W. Helme Snuff Mill Written by NJ Historian Helmetta, New Jersey is facing a crossroads in its history. Over one hundred years ago, a man by the name of George Washington Helme had a dream to build a community around a factory. In a very short time he accomplished that and built an empire. Today, Helme's red-brick buildings with boarded-up windows and empty floors stand silent, awaiting new life. The buildings and homes that have withstood the test of time stand as a monument to the ingenuity, perseverance, and foresight Helme possessed for creating a true company town in what was then a rural area of central New Jersey. George W. Helme Although Helmetta was officially incorporated as a municipality in 1888, the community dates back to about 1880 when George W. Helme, a former New Orleans lawyer and Major-General in the Confederate Army, bought land between Jamesburg and Spotswood, which today is Helmetta. On this land he would build his snuff ...

The Golden Age of Shopping: Downtown Newark

The Golden Age of Shopping: Downtown Newark Written by NJ Historian In a time before malls and regional shopping centers filled New Jersey's landscape, Newark was a prime shopping destination. Imagine hopping into the family car, on a bus, or train in the 1940s or 1950s and spending the day in Newark shopping, eating at restaurants, or watching a show. Crowds on busy streets passed by stores with large plate-glass windows displaying the newest fashions and most modern conveniences. While the intersection of Broad and Market streets, known as the Four Corners, was Newark’s commercial hub, just a few blocks away, the area around Military Park presented a different kind of experience  It was known as "Ladies’ Mile" for the stores that catered to the elegant ladies who bought the finest objects in America. This was the Golden Age in Newark. But as quickly as it came, it ended by the 1970s, when new indoor malls and big-box stores began to spring up in suburban locati...
