Oct 13, 2004: Action I performed
Just something fun I found at an antiques/flea market shop in Danville. It's an electric percolator, probably from the 1940's. The cord has been replaced with a newer one, and I think the basket within it might be a replacement, too. The glass dome is original in its lid. I know it's not worth much since it's got a new electrical cord, but it was a bargain to me, only $8. And if it works, all the better. I just love its style and I'd like to find some more unique percolators from the 1930-60 period.
