Antique Toaster for Sale?
After contacting a few antique dealers we have discovered the MIL's most prized possessions aren't really worth much.
The average price is an auction estimate of around £30-40 per item.
Obviously you have to bear in mind that at auction things can go higher and lower, so its a bit of a risk.
The weirdest situation for me is around the antique toaster.
The auction houses can't sell it because its electrical !!
Its due to health & safety regulations. What the !?!?!?!?
This toaster was made in the early 1950's, I think, because the only model I've found so far is in a museum.
I think health & safety has gone barmy in this country.
What am I supposed to do with it? It's in excellent condition and with the original box.
Surely no one would buy a 1950's toaster to use? It would be a kitchen feature or something?
So I am left with a lovely vintage toaster that's only fit for scrap, what a shame.
