Toaster Toys & Accessories

Electric Excel Toastoy
1920s

Toys are as old as humankind. Children often enjoy toys they allow them to imitate the activities of adult -- from war to housekeeping. So it's no surprise that there are toy toasters, and lots of them.

What is surprising is that some of the early electric toaster toys were actually designed to toast bread, like the Toastoy shown at left. The Toastoy, at about 5 inches high, could handle a half slice of bread. This toy gives a glimpse into, if not a more innocent time, at least a less litigious one.

Possibly the ugliest Toaster Cozy ever made.
No, modern toasters aren't very attractive,
but to cover one with a quilted, vinyl, tan
cozy with a drawing of a modern, ugly toaster...
Why?
Here's a very attractive Handcrafted Toaster Cozy.
...if you have to cover your toaster,
use a cozy like this.

This item is a Toast Stamp,
you press it into your bread before toasting and get a cheery imprinted message
that remains lighter than the more darkly toasted surface. It works best with white bread.
