I don't know if this posting belongs in Vintage; Contemporary; Household; or, Supermarket, but its available from Craigslist Detroit area:

Rather rare 3-slice end loader for sale Its a 1936 Model 194 with a bakelite base. I have the 1933? version with a black metal base and no top vent. Mine may be the first 3-slice toaster? The patent file dates are 1928 and 1933, so that's just a guess.

I know "For Sale" stuff goes in Marketplace. But Vintage seemed a more appropriate place to bring this to the experts attention. What's unusual is the shape of the dust bucket to which the nozzle is attached. Every other Feeny I've seen has a dust bucket shaped like a coffee can on top of a...

From what I remember about using industrial-sized floor polishers, they were mighty ornery if not handled correctly. This contraption would put me through a wall!

I pulled this off a craigslist posting. The guy restores old TVs and radios but is too busy to tweak this one.

No doubt everyone's seen the non-electric bellows vac called the Success. More accurately the Success Upright. (see photo #1) But, I was surprised to learn there's also a Success Canister. (see photos #2,3,4,5)
