Description
A 1990s Dualit 2 slot 'retro look' electric toaster. This toaster is made from chromed and yellow painted metal with injection moulded nylon dials and handle end. This example is boxed and is complete with instructions and moulded plug. Max Gort-Barten established Dualit in 1945 in a garage just off the Old Kent Road, and his first product launch was a cocktail shaker. Next was a heater with a dual function element and a light, named the 'Dual Light heater' from which the company's name was born. He quickly moved on to developing toasters with the aim of creating a product that would make the best toast in the world. His first patented design toasted bread by flipping it over using hinged sides and then in 1955 Dualit launched a six slot toaster with integral timer.
