Mine is very similar to this one, except the handles on the doors are black. I paid a whole dollar for it at a second-hand store around 1984, and it's served me well and faithfully ever since. And it makes very fine toast -- as long as you pay attention!
An advantage over the pop-up type is that you're not limited in the thickness of the items you can toast -- bagels, English muffins, whatever, they all fit in. That's not always possible with a vintage popup, since they were intended only for bread.
