    Might still have one of these toasters in the back of the kitchen cupboard. Carbon-dating suggests it may have belonged to Gordon Strang. Looking forward to further items of interest.

      I burned my fingers on one regularly throughout the 1970s and 80s. Thanks for your support of the museum Vin!

      Made in Australia I am pretty sure but I don’t know how old. Can anyone else with greater depth of toaster knowledge help Marty?

      Thanks Joe, that was fascinating. I like to think that in its small way the Tasmanian Tigers Museum of Memorabilia and Toasters is also keeping alive that lost Australia of makers and doers.
