> Wow, I did a bunch of searching and this company did not come up. I don’t know how I missed this.

It happens.

> It’s pretty ugly considering the price.

Aesthetic is very subjective, people probably purchase the Wolf toaster because the red knobs match their Wolf stove. That said it is very modern and if you also made an art deco stove to match the toaster you’re imagining you may have found a new market.

> I just learned about Dualit because of this thread, they make something very similar to the vision I have in my head, except it’s made in the UK instead of the US.

Dualit is a great brand with a great product.

> I was picturing basically recreating something like the Sunbeam T-20.

To be fair the Dualit reminds me of a more modern Sunbeam.

Really if you have the time and the resources to manufacture a toaster, do it, expect a failure, and if it’s successful great, at the very least you’ll have learned something new.
