Electric Coffee Pots
Electric coffee pot. This is a "4 Man Coffee Maid" produced by the Foreman 4 Family, Inc. The handles and feet are black Bakelite, and the body is chrome. This piece is in excellent condition, down to the cloth covered cord. The body of the pot is a #7826B, indicating that it is a typical Flameware 6 cup pot. The original set came with this pot and a chrome tray with matching accessories. We would love to find a complete set, or at least some pieces to begin completing our set here!



Beautiful electric coffee percolator. This is also a Forman Brothers piece, and is chromium plated (that's what it says on the bottom). This is more of a standard percolator as we now know them, and the Pyrex piece is the perocolator top. In addition to a beautiful design it has a yellow marbeled bakelite handle. I would like to know the history of this particular piece!!

Hot Plate (!?!?!)
This is, as best we can call it, an electric hot plate. It has coils in the bottom of the pan, as you can see. The round casserole is simply put into it and the heater is turned on. The piece is beautifully made and the cord and coils are in excellent condition. Amazing thing: There is a low and a high heat for this particular piece. If you plug the cord into the pan in one direction it gives low heat, and if you turn the cord over it gives high heat!! Saves a switch AND is very clever.

Buffet Server
This electric buffet server came with three Pyrex bean pots. It could be use for keeping food hot during a meal. Similar to the larger versions found in restaurants today, the server was filled with hot water kept hot by coils under the bean pots.

This is a popcorn popper, and is really beautiful. Can you imagine making popcorn in this electric popper (as opposed to putting a bag into the microwave)? The wooden handle on the top of the Fry Glass lid can be spun by hand to mix the corn. I remember when mom had to pick the pot off of the stove to shake it - none of that here, just spin the handle. Be sure to check out the hexagon shaped design on the lid ... beautiful
