You have to be very careful, as all metal surfaces are very hot and will burn you, so just touch the knobs only and you should be ok. Imagine the law suits if these were available today, back in the day if you got burnt, it was your fault, smear a little butter on it and move on. I have the cord for it and it gets used every once in a while, a little nostalgia never hurts, unless you touch it.

I grew up with one of those two door toasters similar to that. Would absolutely LOVE to find another. The one we had was a Toastess model 202. I still keep my eye out for one! A number of years ago Toastess “reintroduced” them as a “retro” model with a few upgraded safety features...power button, and a heat resistent base. I bought one but it didn’t last the coil burnt out. Havent been able to find another since.
