I bought a group of very early toasters and they all are above average cosmetically with shine and without rust or other problem. This one is super shiny. There is no marking of manufacture but I know its European with 220v 400 w thus would need a converter to use in US. I don't have this nor the cord so no way to test but condition is fantastic cosmetically. Most of these date from 1914 to the 1930s I believe this is 1930s.
