General Electric Toast-R-Stove, circa 1959
- Waters-Genter Company "Toastmaster Model 1A1 Toaster," 1929-1930 - The first automatic pop-up toasters, patented by Charles Strite and manufactured by the Waters-Genter Company in 1921, were sold commercially to hotels and restaurants. Later, in 1926, the company introduced the first model for home use. The toaster automatically turned off after the bread was browned (on both sides simultaneously!) Then it popped up the toast, freeing toast lovers from watching, turning, and burning sliced bread.

- Sunbeam Model T9 Electric Toaster, circa 1939 - The Sunbeam T9 toaster's curved form and smooth surface reflect the Streamline Moderne aesthetic, an aspect of Art Deco design that emerged during the 1930s. Often called the "World's Fair Toaster," it was produced the same year as the 1939 New York World's Fair and has incised decoration reflecting the modernistic Trylon and Perisphere structures that formed the fair's futuristic "Theme Center."
