It was created by a mechanic named Charles Strite who decided to solve the burnt toast problem he had at his company cafeteria. It used springs and a changeable timer. A timer was placed on it so you were not required to watch over your toast. The first popup toaster for the home was the Toastmaster, which was made available in 1926. Toastmaster produced many different 3-slot toasters over the years, like this large cast iron commercial one next to a 1950's Toastmaster.The Sunbeam, Model T-20 was released in 1949 and was the first fully automatic toaster. The toast would lower by itself and rise slowly without popping out or banging. It progressed through many models from the T-20 to the VT40.
