Junkin' Lasko toaster treasure
Going to the flea market is always an experience. Sometimes you find great things - sometimes you find nothing. Sometimes you pass on things that you later kick yourself about (a Weinberg horse cart will forever be the "one that got away" cause I didn't want to spend another $20 that day).
During a recent trip to the flea maket this funky toaster caught my eye. I'm not a big "appliance" kinda girl. My husband Mark is always bringing home vintage toasters and perculators. Me, not so much. But, this one was different. It was weird. It was a little scary. It belonged in a vintage travel trailer. We ended up bundling it with some other stuff; so in the end, it was free.

This gem allows you to toast, fry an egg and make your coffee all at once.
Poach an egg and make your toast!
Or, microwave and toast all at once.
We'll probably end up selling the Lasco, or maybe keep it for our 1948 United since it's a 1940's Toastove. (funny word that) We'll see. In any case, we can toast our bread, warm a cup of coffee and cook eggs all at once.
