Kinda neat for whatever it is--A toaster?A hotplate?NO!!!-ITS BOTH!!! GET YOURS TODAY!!!Guess you would need a 20A circuit to run the thing-esp if the toaster and hotplates were run at the same time. |

If this was made for a diner-the unit probably ran off 220-240V. |

The weird thing is, that toaster looks like one I brought to the Long Beach wash-in as a give-away item. I think Fred may have taken it. If it works the same, that lever actually flips open the center portion of the toaster 90 degrees, with the top surface becoming vertical and the side surface horizontal, revealing guides for two slices of bread. Place the bread inside the guides and flip back over to close and toast. Heating element was manually controlled by an in-line switch.
I don't know if the bread gets toasted sideways or if you place the bread into the guides sideways so it toasts right side up. The whole thing didn't seem practical and I never used it, so that's why I let it go.
Again, if it's like my toaster was, you wouldn't be able to use the burner on the right because you'd need that space for the bread holder to flip up and over for loading and unloading.

Given the Art Deco style and age of the thing would say it fits with "vacuum" coffee brewing. Have several Silex heaters made for use with their vacuum coffee pots that have same heating elements.
Of course once everyone moved over to electric perk pots, then this sort of appliance as shown in OP became passé. In any case idea was to have coffee and toast at breakfast (especially for His Nibbs) table with a minimum of fuss or bother. www.jitterbuzz.com/indcof.html...
