Your comments:

• I have this exact toaster and have been researching its age and value. I found a reference to the patent date for a similar style but the exact patent No 1,756,784, as 1930 on jitterbuzz.com, but don't know the range of manufacture dates for this style. Found several K-M desk fans with the same design in the cage as this has on the flaps, but no dates beyond, 1930's. Unfortunately, mine has no cord, so don't know if it works or not. Seems very lightly used.
