Up for your consideration is this fairly rare mid century (late 1950's-60's) GENERAL ELECTRIC "POT BELLY" AUTOMATIC COFFEE MAKER-PERCOLATOR MODEL #13P30. I am obsessive! I HATE describing every spot or hair on an item....however selling has turned into an exercise in jurisprudence. CHECK MY RATINGS! Beautifully retro and classically styled with a gorgeous chrome finish with brown Bakelite handle, this 9 cup coffeemaker has only a tiny ding (small nail head size) on the edge of the lid (no break in the chrome) and one pin head size mark on the body, and a 1/4" "crease" on the body that I didn't even see until the light hit it at a certain angle. You will have to look for it! It has only a FEW VERY MINOR scuff and cleaning marks. (See the photos!) It is rated at 800 watts and heats and brews quickly (I tested it more than once...awesome coffee!) at an optimum temperature of 199 degrees. It has a slide adjustment for strength....mild, medium and strong, as well as a "reheat" setting. The setting and name plate is cosmetically perfect, as is the red "GE" indicator light that comes on when it is finished brewing (See photo). The brown Bakelite base has no cracks or chips and the handle has a hairline scratch (not a crack). The interior could use a vinegar run through to clean the staining. The coffee maker stands about 9 1/2" tall to the top of the large glass knob. The original matching brown plug is included. It has been tested and works perfectly and as with all vintage electrical items, is being sold as is as I cannot warranty its function for a specific period of time. I DO have enough confidence in this piece to offer a DOA refund policy with it! YOU CANNOT PURCHASE A NEW COFFEE MAKER OF THIS QUALITY AT THIS PRICE! I am in the process of listing other vintage coffeemakers, waffle irons, mixers and toasters, as well as MANY unique vintage cookware and baking items. I KEEP MY PRICES LOWER THAN MOST and TRY TO FIND THE LEAST EXPENSIVE WAY TO SHIP. I COMBINE SHIPPING WHEN POSSIBLE. PLEASE CHECK MY SELLER'S RATINGS. MY NORMAL DISCLAIMER I have extensive experience selling vintage and commercial kitchenware. Almost all the items I sell are obtained at estate sales. I cannot guarantee that they come from a smoke or allergen free environment, although almost all items are washed thoroughly. I ship at actual rates, and only add "handling charges" when an item necessitates added expenses such as excess bubble wrap and packing peanuts that are necessary to ensure safe shipping. People often forget that these things cost money! I will combine shipping where possible. Payment is appreciated within 3 days after the end of the auction. Please do not bid if you do not intend on finalizing your purchase. Positive feedback and sellers ratings are important to sellers. PLEASE take a minute to evaluate your purchase and leave positive feedback, or contact me BEFORE leaving anything else. I aim to please. I will not hold your feedback hostage! Due to increased issues with some buyers who either do not read the item description or have unreasonable expectations, I can no longer offer a refund policy aside from any obvious and blatant misrepresentations on my part. PLEASE ask any and all questions before bidding, and I will be happy to address them professionally. Almost all the items I sell are over 30 years old, so consider that when bidding. I do my due diligence in describing my items honestly. I have not earned near perfect seller's ratings by chance, and I take pride and satisfaction in what I sell. If you feel that an item has been misrepresented in ANY way, please give me the courtesy of communicating with you BEFORE you file a claim with eBay or PayPal, or leave ANYTHING but positive feedback. I operated successful businesses for over 30 years because my focus has always been on satisfying my customers with a good product at a fair price, and an emphasis on service and relationships. Please feel free to contact me with questions concerning not only items I have listed, but others as well. I ... read more
