We're sitting at my grandparents kitchen table, the elecric toaster plugged in, but not in use (and had not been in use yet that day), when all of a sudden, gray smoke starts drifting out and the curtains above the toaster burst into flames. I hate to think what would have happened if we hadn't been sitting right there to act promptly.

The toaster was invented before World War I, which lasted from 1914 to 1918. An electric toaster was invented in 1893, but it was not commercially successful. A successful electric toaster was invented in 1909, also before WWI. But the pop-up toaster was not invented until after WWI, in 1921. So it is likely that refinements of the toaster invention were continuing during the war.
