In this restoration video, I restore a beautiful bread toaster from the 1910-the 40s.
More about the restoration:
When I saw this piece for sale on a site similar to eBay, I knew from the start that it would be the subject of an exciting restoration video. I didn't think twice and bought the toaster even though I wasn't sure it would ever work again or that I would find replacement parts. This toaster is quite rare; I have not been able to find one like it anywhere. The restoration process went well, with no problems but with great surprises. I did not expect it to be entirely brass made. I decided not to nickel-plate its surface but to mirror-polish it. It will look great in a kitchen as decoration. Although I managed to make it work, unfortunately, I couldn't find a similar power cord, so I had to improvise for now. I'm still looking and hoping to find one, but chances are slim, considering I need help finding a similar model on the internet. I worked on this toaster for two weeks with much love and patience, and I am thrilled with how it turned out. And the toast was amazingly delicious!
