I bought a Sunbeam T-9, with the 1938 world's fair logo, for less than
$50 on eBay. I expect it to work pefectly for another 60 years or so.
And it looks cool - its the one that they based The Brave Little
Toaster cartoons on. Ask my grandkids about it someday.

I hate all the retro-looking crap that's on sale now. IME, the real
stuff is readily available, cheaper, and it works better.
