Another Odd Museum Pops Up

Written by Admin on September 6, 2008 – 2:11 pm -

By popular request, I present the third in my series of quirky museums.  Previously, I’ve brought you French fries and cocktails, now stand by for … toasters.

Jens Veerbeck began collecting 15 years ago when he was browsing round a flea market in San Francisco and bought an old chrome pop-up toaster from the 1950s.  “I initially wanted to use it in my kitchen, but it sparked a love affair that goes on to this day,” he said.

Now he has 600 models in his apartment at Essen in Germany, including one from the 1920s that cost £3,500 ($6,400).  This, though, is a ‘virtual’ museum, available only online at www.toastermuseum.com (slogan: ‘Let’s toast together, enjoy and have fun!)
