1957 Toggle

[Copierguy]

Cutting Edge posted this 1957 advert almost a year ago. (orig. post)
Published in The New Yorker, December 14, 1957

Given the Christmas theme and timing of the ad, surely they were not promoting the roll out of the D-1s in the spring.
(Would think that would be bad PR.)

Graphics can be misleading at times, but the text of the ad describes a standard 9 setting Toggle.

My question is, does anyone have a Toggle with a "C" date code?
Or photos or seen one?

FWIW, The date code chart says they went on sale Christmas of 1957.

Yep...The last brassy toggle I saw on the bay went for $75+ and it wern't perddy! I just want a shaver...brassy as hell is good with me. I missed a few on the BST by minutes that were, of course, priced right! The wait continues!
