  == First Toasted Sandwich Maker: Tostwich ==  The Toastwich has to be the first ever toasted sandwich maker, dating back to before 1920. However it wasn't patented until March 3, 1925 (applied on May 26, 1924 ).  I discovered this after performing an image search in google. I was VERY excited with my discovery, and had to investigate it further.  A chap called Charles V. Champion invented the 'Tostwich' AND a 'corn popping machine' which would mass-produce popcorn. The guy is a legend.  The Catlin Historical Society website  Click here to see the Toastwich
