EARLY FARBERWARE ELECTRIC PERCOLATOR
1930? 1940?
ART DECO DESIGN
HANDLE IS WOODEN
WARNING: cord is unsafe to use
although the CORD WORKS buyer MUST repair or replace it
VINTAGE (NEAR ANTIQUE) PERCOLATOR FOR THE COLLECTOR/TINKERER WHO WILL GO OVER IT AND
AT A MINIMUM REPLACE OR REPAIR THE FRAYED CORD
.
THE PRONG ON THE CORD IS LARGE AND I'M GUESSING
THE REPAIR WILL REQUIRE RE-USE OF THE PRONG.
AGAIN, ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE TO USE AS IS.
BUYER UNDERSTANDS THIS VINTAGE APPLIANCE IS SOLD AS IS.
NO GUARANTEE ON FUNCTION.
PURCHASE IMPLIES BUYER HAS READ THROUGH DESCRIPTION AND ACCEPTS THAT DUE TO AGE, THE CONDITION OF THIS ITEM IS FAR FROM PERFECT.   I HAVE DESCRIBED THE FLAWS AND BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT REPAIRS ARE NECESSARY AND EVEN WITH REPAIR OF THE CORD, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE HOW LONG THIS WILL WORK AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE OPERABLE UPON RECEIPT.
DESPITE THE DINGS, NEED OF THOROUGH CLEANING AND THE DANG CORD BEING FRAYED, THIS IS A VERY COOL PIECE OF AMERICAN FAMILY SMALL APPLIANCE HISTORY.   SOMEONE WHO WILL GIVE THIS THE ATTENTION AND TLC THAT IT NEED WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PIECE.   IT APPEARS WITH THE AMOUNT OF USE IT HAS HAD THAT AT ONE TIME IT MADE DECENT COFFEE.
AGAIN, THIS PERCOLATOR HAS SEEN A LOT OF USE.
THE CORD WORKS BUT NEEDS REPLACING
.   I PLUGGED IT IN AND THE UNIT STARTED HEATING UP.   I DIDN'T MAKE COFFEE OR EVEN LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUTES BECAUSE THE CORD IS IN POOR CONDITION.
PERCOLATOR NEEDS FURTHER OVERALL CLEANING AND HAS SOME DINGS, MOST NOTABLE ON THE LID(SHOWN IN CLOSEUP PIX) WITH ANOTHER OBVIOUS DING ON ONE SIDE AT THE VERY BOTTOM EDGE.   I GAVE IT A QUICK GOING OVER WITH BARTENDER'S FRIEND ON THE EXTERIOR AND THE WORST CAME OFF EASILY.   THE INSIDE, INCLUDING THE INSIDE "PARTS", NEEDS CLEANING AND THE OUTSIDE NEEDS ANOTHER CLEANING.
THE GLASS TOP/VIEWER HAS A LARGE CHIP
BELOW
WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE LID SO IT'S A COSMETIC RATHER THAN FUNCTIONAL ISSUE.
SOME PEOPLE NEVER WASH THEIR COFFEE POTS AND I'M GUESSING THAT WAS THE MINDSET OF THE PERSON WHO OWNED THIS.   DO NOT EXPECT A CLEAN PERCOLATOR.
REVIEW ALL PHOTOS CLOSELY.   I HAVE INCLUDED THE MAXIMUM # OF PHOTOS TO HELP YOU DECIDE IF THIS PERCOLATOR IS FOR YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ASKED BEFORE PURCHASE
.
I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK.
IF YOU WANT MORE PHOTOS, ASK.

I DO NOT RENEGOTIATE PRICES AFTER YOU HAVE PAID AND CERTAINLY NOT AFTER YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT.
THE TIME FOR ANY NEGOTIATIONS IS BEFORE YOU PAY*.  Note that this item has already been reduced 2 times.   I am not entertaining any further reductions in price.
I SOLD ANOTHER PERCOLATOR RECENTLY TO A VERY HAPPY BUYER WHO WAS THRILLED WITH HIS PURCHASE.   THE LISTING FOR THAT PERCOLATOR INCLUDED THIS SAME WARNING:   ASSUME THIS UNIT WILL BURST INTO FLAMES THE SECOND YOU PLUG IT IN.  IT'S OLD...VERY O.L.D.   IT STARTED HEATING UP WHEN I PLUGGED IT IN; HOWEVER, IT MAY STOP OPERATING AT ANY MINUTE.  IT COULD WORK WHEN I SHIP IT AND STOP WORKING WHILE IN SHIPMENT BECAUSE IT'S OLD.  PERCOLATOR MIGHT WORK A DAY, A WEEK, OR A YEAR OR IT MIGHT NOT.  YOU SHOULD ASSUME IT IS NON-OPERABLE.  THAT WAY THERE IS NO SURPRISE.   IF YOU BUY THIS, CLEAN IT UP TO YOUR SATISFACTION, DECIDE TO PERK A POT AND IT OPERATES WITHOUT BURNING DOWN YOUR KITCHEN AND YOU ENJOY THE COFFEE, CONSIDER EVERY STEP TOWARD ENJOYMENT OF THAT CUP OF COFFEE A BONUS.
I ASSUME ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FIRE THAT BURNS YOU, BURNS YOUR COUNTER, BURNS YOUR HOUSE, NEIGHBORHOOD, COUNTY, OR STATE.   THIS IS ALMOST 100 YEARS OLD.  USE YOUR HEAD AND "PERCOLATE DEFENSIVELY."  :)
ALL COUNTERTOP APPLIANCES ARE A FIRE RISK.  THIS ONE IS WORSE BECAUSE IS IT O.L.D. AND THE CORD IS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE.
AND YES, IT'S A VERY COOL PERCOLATOR WITH AN ART DECO DESIGN ON IT.
THIS IS A FINAL SALE - YOU CAN'T RETURN IT AS NOT AS DESCRIBED BECAUSE I HAVE SHOWN YOU MANY PHOTOS AND TOLD YOU ABOUT ITS FLAWS.
YOU CANNOT RETURN IT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK - BECAUSE I AM TELLING YOU IT'S OLD AND BUYER SHOULD ASSUME IT WILL NOT WORK.
YOU CANNOT RETURN IT BECAUSE IT HAS DINGS AND DENTS - I AM TELLING YOU IT HAS DINGS AND DENTS.
YOU CANNOT RETURN IT BECAUSE IT HAS DISCOLORATION ON THE INSIDE.   I AM TELLING YOU IT HAS DISCOLORATION AND NEEDS CLEANING.
YOU CANNOT RETURN IT BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID TO USE IT.  YOU
SHOULD BE
AFRAID TO USE IT...IT'S O.L.D.     BEING WARY OF USING THIS MEANS YOU'RE SMART.   IF YOU'RE NOT SMART, DON'T BUY IT.
COLLECTORS & TINKERERS - WELCOME - THIS IS YOUR NEXT PROJECT.
