Remember When......
I myself have about 30 of the earlier models of these, which were made in the 30's , 40's and 50's. That I have collected over the years and were displyed in our bakery. Their in storage right now in our new house. They too also plugged in. Hard to believe they didn't think it was a safety hazzard when the top of the stove got as hot as it did. I also have the small untensils, pots, pans, tea kettles, and drip coffee pots, that went with them.
They were at times called the "Salesman Special", Stoves, fridges, and sinks the salesman would take to homes to show the housewife what it would look like in her kitchen. They are very hard to find now, but you can sometimes find them on Ebay. They are made of aluminum or tin, not plastic like in the video above. I hope to one day get them out again and display them. My aunt bought me my first one and then it sky rocketed from that. I have every color they ever made in those decades. Along with some fridges, sinks, and clothes washers.
They are simply delightful....

My daughter had one of these as well.
It was fun, but it did need parent's supervision, because the oven did get pretty hot.
