As new as this looked, it was sitting on a shelf without a box in the basement of a recent sale. However, by its design, I knew it wasn't new. It sported that 1960's space-age/UFO aesthetic.
This 1951 Silex syphon coffee maker joined the collection this past weekend. I got it for 50% off at $5, plus the estate sale cashier threw in the rest of my items (mostly ephemera) for free, so I was happy.
