I am selling a vintage Westinghouse TO-501B Shiny Chrome Electric Toaster with Bakelite knobs and handles. It says one slice on the top. The toaster was plugged in and the toasting coils glow red. It weighs almost 5 pounds! It is 7.25\" Tall and approx. 10\" long and 6.5\" wide as measured on the bottom of the toaster. It was made in the USA in Mansfield, Ohio.
The handle to lower the toast that is on the side probably has some rust or needs oiling as it lowers really hard. Please see all the pictures because they show that the interior needs a good cleaning. It is obvious that this appliance has been stored for decades. The cord appears in good condition. At the end of the plug, the wires usually have some little piece of cardboard or plastic protector so that you can not see the wiring. This is not with the toaster.
As with all vintage items, there are signsof use and wear that I feel adds to the character. It makes me wonder who usedit and what has it endured. I do not deep clean items and as such will probablyneed to be cleaned before use or display. You are buying this appliance as is.
I am usually paid within three days unlesscontacted about unusual circumstances. Payment through PayPal only. Shippingwith tracking is within one business day after payment is confirmed throughPayPal. Most Midwestern residents may qualify for reduced shipping if I amcontacted BEFORE payment for a new invoice.
Please feel free to ask any questions aboutthis item. Thank you for looking
