My favorite toaster is a sixties vintage Tastmaster that automatically lowers the bread using a motor when you drop the slice in, then when done raises the toast back up using the motor. No toast launched to the moon. It was given to my parents as a wedding gift, and now I have it. It still works fine after 50 years.
My mom's parents bought my parents one for their wedding, too, then got one for themselves as well. My step-mom still has the one my parents got, but my little brother (yeah, at 48 he is still my little bro) found another one for Mom and Step-dad. The didn't use it, so now it is at my house. Love that thing, but the "up" springs are a bit weak at this point.
