Toaster museum pops-up online
A toaster mad German - who presumably never eats cereal in the morning - has created an online museum dedicated to the kitchen appliance.
Graphic designer Jens Veerbeck says he first got into toasters at a flea market in San Francisco fifteen years ago.
While there he bought a 1950s model, initially it was to be used but as he added others they became a collecton in their own right.
He now owns over 600 different models of toaster, believed to be the biggest collection in the world, including one worth over £3,000.
"The design of each single toaster is like a small window to the design trend of the corresponding decade and country," said Jens.
"The variety of designs is unbelievable, toasting bread - can be celebrated in so many different ways,
"I was deeply impressed, how much creativity engineers spent on flipping bread! Being a designer, this fact fascinates and inspires me every day."
