Whew! Bidding is high! I suppose
it's nostalgia. I doubt there would
be much demand for this thing for
commercial purposes. What kind of
restaurant would serve Toas-Tite
sandwiches?

The one George Jetson used to (in the future sort of way) take his family
to.

Sold at $910! Two losing bidders at
$900 and $879.99. Quite a lot to pay
for a sandwich maker.

I wouldn't have gone higher than $1 for that Rube Goldberg... I bet it
can't compare to the original stove top model, and they are still
available for not much money.

I'm still puzzling over who would pay so much.
Maybe if somebody like Nathan Myhrvold is a
collector, it would have been worth it to fill
a spot in his museum. Or maybe somebody like
Ron Popiel would want to study it for ideas.
If I were a Chinese appliance manufacturer,
I might consider copying it for reintroduction
to the American market.

I can't imagine an electric model would work nearly as well as the
original gas stovetop model. Can still buy a new one... and look

Stock up on Velveeta and pepperoni.
My favoite filling was cream cheese and lox.

Grin, how about American cheese on my own thin cut home made bread?
Slivers of onion from the garden?
