apr 1, 1893 - Electric Toaster

Description:

"The first electric toaster was invented in 1893 by Alan MacMasters in Scotland. He called the device the “Eclipse Toaster,” and it was manufactured and marketed in Britain by the Crompton Company. It toasted only one side of the bread, so you had to flip the bread over manually."
