Description
First up is the crown jewel of this lot: a General Electric Automatic Percolator, Cat. No. 68P40, manufactured in Bridgeport, Connecticut. This chrome beauty runs on 115 volts at 800 watts AC only and features a sliding strength selector with settings for Reheat, Mild, Med, and Strong. The percolator basket assembly is intact and visible through the glass top knob, and the unit shows honest vintage wear with a wonderfully polished chrome body that still catches the light like it is 1962. A serious piece of mid-century kitchen Americana that belongs on a shelf as much as a countertop. This is missing its steam cap and power cord.
Next is a charming vintage glass coffee carafe featuring a gorgeous gold atomic starburst and wheat motif that screams late 1950s to early 1960s space-age design. The black Bakelite handle is sturdy and intact, and the carafe is topped with a gold-banded metal collar and a matching glass lid. The hand-painted gold decoration shows some light wear consistent with its age, but the overall presentation is delightfully retro and highly collectible for fans of mid-century kitchenware.
Rounding out the lot is a vintage Mr. Coffee 4-cup glass carafe with the original white plastic handle and a chrome metal band collar. The glass body is clearly marked with cup measurement lines from 1 through 4, with the notation reading 4 five-ounce cups to the bottom of the metal band. This compact little pot shows light coffee staining inside but remains structurally sound and represents the early days of the Mr. Coffee brand that revolutionized home brewing in the 1970s.
