That was me. On this Wikipedia page under logo history, it says they changed the “wave” logo from black to blue in 1968 so I was speculating based on that. I would really love to know how old this toaster really is but I guess it’s lost to time if you couldn’t find anything either.
I’ve been down this road many times and trust me you just need to cut your losses eventually. Very little effort has been put into archiving stuff related to old appliances, even historically important brands like GE and Philips. It sucks massively. Our best bet is probably finding a physical manual that got lost behind a drawer one day.

That’s not what happened to the logo in 1968:
Edit: Also, I reject your dichotomy of it being lost to time just because neither you or I figured it out.

Hey @Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world would you be able to take a photo of the bottom with the model number?
