I found these gems the other day at an antique mall not far from where I live. They were having a going out of business sale. The Nesco cooker was 5 dollars and the lamp was 6 dollars. The shade on the lamp isn't original but I think it goes well.
The Nesco is in excellent shape and looks barely used. It came with the power cord, inner rack, removable insert, and owners manual. | ||

I noticed the "St. Louis, 16, MO" address also. I had no idea that this style of Nesco dated that far back.
Did the cooking charts on the front of these come in different shades besides the smoky gold on the subject roaster and the silver blue like on mine? Might they have indicated a model year or series, or was a choice of decorator colors always available?
Here's a picture of mine in use. I forgot that I had to get a power cord for it, and since the receptacle is slightly smaller than those on a large roaster, I had to settle for a way older Eagle (likely from the woven fabric cord days) that was NOS from ebay.

it caught my eye. Reminds me of Carol Burnett wearing Miss Ellen's portiers. "I saw it in the window and just had to have it." | ||

Oh yes, I know these roasters have been around for almost 100 years. My mom had one from around 1946. I didn't hang onto it because even though it worked fine, it made a crackling sound on the bottom of the cooking well when initially turned on. Plus, I just didn't use one of these things all that often.
These chrome-clad models looked newer to me than pre-ZIP Code, though. | ||

Interesting that Nathalie Dupree was involved with Rich's....there was a similar "local notable" who was the impresario for Pogue's (LS Ayres) cooking school in Cincinnati...her name escapes me but kitchen/epicure was the one area where buying responsibilities for the bigger (Pogues + Ayres + Stewart's) remained in Cincinnati for awhile after the merger (not moved immediately to Indianapolis)
