Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is Lee Habib, and this is our American Stories,
the show where America is the star and the American people.
To search for the American Stories podcast, go to the
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. There's an
old saying that one man's garbage is another's treasure. For
Richard Larimore of Diamond, Missouri, that saying rings especially true.
(00:33):
What started as a favor for a brother in law
morphed into something much much bigger, the world's largest small
electric appliance museum. Here's Richard with his story.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Well, it was I thought in my mind back then
it was the last Frontier. My brother in law in
California was collecting old black fans. You've seen those black,
ugly fans. Well, he called me up one day and said, Richard,
he said, you know you're out there in Missouri. Why
(01:06):
don't you start looking for these fans for me? I said, okay,
So we like to travel because I don't drink, or
drive or smoke any of that kind of stuff. So
we started looking at and I got interested in the fans.
I had about one hundred of them. But then again,
you see one black fan, you've seen them all and
they were getting harder and harder to find, and when
(01:28):
they were they were double once you started out paying.
So I called Innis, brother in law, and I asked him.
I said, Denis, I said, when you're traveling and you
can't find your fan, what do you collect electric toasters?
I said, what? Electric toasters? And I didn't realize he
(01:49):
was trying to a corner of the market. On the
newer version toaster you pulled down and it toasted, it
pops up. He thought he could buy them all up
and make lots of money. Well, he found out he could,
but I started looking. I didn't know what he was clicked.
But I seen a toaster and seen it all one.
I bought it. And then I really made a mistake.
(02:12):
I bought a book on toasters. They make porcelain toasters.
Holy cat, I gotta find one of those, and we
drove the wheels off of the car looking for a
porcelain toaster. Now I've got a big collection of them,
but that's kind of how I got started on the toasters.
And then, holy cat, look at this. Well here's a
(02:33):
coffee pot. It's same brand, and it looks got the
same markings, and a toaster so I bought that. I
thought that'd be nice to display them together. And then
pretty soon my brain went crazy if I did if
it was small and electric and I didn't have it,
I had to have it. So I started buying it
(02:55):
all and that was in a big mistake. If I
had to do it all over. It costs so much.
People don't realize what it costs to run a museum
like this. If I paid you a dollar apiece to
clean those toasters, and it would cost me, I got
about eight thousand, So that'd be eight thousand dollars, and
(03:20):
you can't h Nobody wants to work anymore. They can't
see you can't hire 'em. I've cleaned those I'll bet
you I've three times. I've completely cleaned everything in there.
But anyway, that's basically how I got started. But I
started in my basement. You couldn't walk down there. You'd
(03:43):
have to watch it. Don't step on this one, move
around here. And then have you heard of gathering of
the artists I have in in Miyosho, Well, Lowell, Davis, Bob,
Tommy and a bunch of them got together and every
year they would have a show, and they would show
their paintings and so forth, and they would sell it.
(04:05):
One day I went there to see their artwork and
talk to them, and I said, hey, I said, what
are you guys doing Friday night? Because I knew they
were in town from Texas and all over the country
and Martha Spurlock, super super good artist. I said, Martha,
I said, what are you guys doing Friday night? She says, well,
(04:27):
I don't know. As far as I know nothing. I said,
how would you like to come out of the house
and see my collection of electric appliances. I said, we
can have coffee and whatever my wife wants to bake
or cook. She said okay. So sure enough, that night
they all come up to the house and they came
(04:49):
in and we talked a little bit. I said, come
on down the basement. I'll show you my appliances. Anyway,
we went down, we looked at it, and I could
see they were interested pretty good to begin with, but
you can tell when people get tired. And they said, well,
so I says, hey, come on, let's go upstairs. I
think Janis has probably got coffee and and a cake
(05:11):
or something ready for us. Okay, and all the other
people went upstairs. And I just made one step on
the stairway and Doug grabbed me. I s said, Richard,
I got something to say to you. I said, I
was trying to think what I said? What Doug? So
(05:32):
I stepped back. We got the talking and if I
I shouldn't say what he said, but you'll get the
drift of it. Or can I say what he said?
He he said, you know when you invited us out
to see this collection, he said, I told every buddy,
(05:52):
what a bunch of bs, what a waste of a
good evening, come out and see this crap. I said, Oh,
but he says, m man, he says, am I impressed.
He says, I can't believe this collection you've got down here.
He said, this is fair. Oh You've got the prettiest
appliances I've seen in a long time. But he says,
(06:14):
I got another problem. And I said, oh, now what, Doug?
He says, you know what's wrong with this? I said
what he said, as nice as collection have you've got,
it's a crime that only very few people can see it.
You need to have it work everybody can see it.
Because he said, man, I've never seen any of this.
(06:36):
He said, I've been all over the United States, and
he says, this is absolutely fantastic. So when we walked upstairs,
you know, I got thinking, you know, he's right, because
I only show people that's my friends and so forth
seeing it. So I thought, how could I do this
so more people could see it? Well, I had the
(06:57):
Western Store, and I thought I could add on to
the Western Store, and I can have a museum.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
And you're listening to one unique American voice, Richard Larimore's voice,
his story. The world's largest small electrical appliance museum is
his achievement. More of his story here on Our American Stories.

(08:09):
we returned to our American Stories and Richard Larimore, the
founder and curator of the world's largest small electric appliance
museum in Diamond, Missouri, When we last left off, Richard
was telling us about how what started in his basement
morphed into a full fledged museum. Let's continue with the
story here again is Richard Larimore.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Everything I've got back there ninety nine percent. I might
have one or two things, so all us products. Back
then we had manufacturers. We don't have them anymore. And
another funny thing, and we probably didn't think of this.
They never had computers, they never had smart cell phones.
(08:54):
Everything come from their head. How am I going to
do this? Need to make a toaster? I can't make
it like the ones. That's sorry, they're so I've got
to change it. Because they had about a dollar a
patent fee or something, so they'd change it. These inventors
kept coming out with new products because the people never
(09:17):
had those before. So boom, that's brand new. I got
to have that. They might not have never used it,
but it's different. There's Percher toasters. You just put it in,
it sets on the top and it cooks. You got
floppers that flop the toast over, you got swingers that
swing around, and the manufacturers. I think this is my
(09:40):
own personal feeling. If that toaster could do more than
one thing, then you can have two different type of people.
They might need this, they could buy it for that,
or they could have a toaster. So I would love
to talk to some of those inventors. And some of
the stuff they invented was so stupid and dumb, but
(10:05):
I'm glad they did because I love talking about stupid
and dumb stuff. Well, somewhere, I've got a toaster that
is also a heater. Can you have Yeah, your heaters
get all the dirt and the crud. Can you imagine
having a toaster? Like I say, it's dumb, but I'm
(10:25):
glad they did. It gives me. I love to talk
about the stuff that's so different. I've got one back there,
one of the I've got a lot. I've probably got
forty or more one of a kind toaster's coffee pots.
I've got a waffle iron. They had the old drive
in movies. Well they turned into a flea market on
(10:47):
weekends and I went there and I've seen this waffle
iron and I thought, boy, that sucker is brand new.
I don't want to buy that. I want old stuff. Well,
I kept thinking about and I thought, you know that
was in mint conditions. I gotta buy it. So I
bought it and it came its original box, which was nothing.
(11:10):
It was just playing cardboard box. Brought it home and
had a guy come through the museum once. He said, oh,
he says, I see you got a rare walf of iron.
I said, I have. He said that one right there.
He says, you've got to be joking. No, he says,
that's rare one. I said, how come? Then he told
(11:31):
me the story. It was made out of pot aluminum
and when you plugged it in and it heated up,
if you forgot to turn it off, it would completely
melt fall apart, or it would start a fire. So
they quit manufacturing it. You're not gonna plug it in
(11:51):
if it's gonna start fire, or forget about it. And
that's another thing with the old appliances when they made it.
If they had the same kind of laws back then
as they had the day, we wouldn't have none of that.
Because if your little boy burnt his hand on a toaster,
oh that's unsafe. Well you can't make that anymore. So
(12:15):
back then they educated their kids, don't touch that kid's
hot god ooh you're right, dad, and you only did
that once. Tell me what this is. I was just
about to say, don't say what you think it is.
If I would have got a dollar for every time
somebody said a hair dry, I'd be rich. That's what everybody.
(12:39):
And now let me tell you the story. There's another
one of those stories. I bought this in your e
Springs and I seen it on the shelf, and I
walked up and a guy behind the counter, Sir said
what I says. You know, I'm not the smartest man
in the country, but I don't think i'm dumb either.
How does that hair dry with the holes in the sidework?
(13:00):
He starts laughing. He says, we got no hair dry
with holes in the side. Oh damn dumb. Cand a
guy get running the place rolling them. Don't even realize
he's got one like that. And then he looked up
and seen that. He starts laughing, and he reached in
his drawer and I've got the patent somewhere and he
pulled that here read it. I ur narrow have invented
(13:23):
this man's man's face steamer to take place at the
hot towels that they would drop around their head before
they would shave him. Very very rare, and what really
scares me right now. God forbid that if anything ever happened,
(13:45):
had a tornado, and that tornado just missed this place.
You know, if a tornado took that out, you can't
replace that what I've got back there. I'm proud to
say that, but it scares the you know what out
of me that tornado would take get away. You can't
find that stuff anymore. I'm still looking for things I
(14:06):
don't have, but there's not too many out there. We drove. Oh,
I've been driving all of it. I love looking. I'm
a hunter. I go in there, Oh, I don't have this,
look at that. I spent thousands of dollars on eBay
and I had a good friend of mine. He was
a multi millionaire. In fact, we used to know his name.
(14:30):
He had forty patents. I'm not sure whether it's medical
or whatever. But he was a smart foreign guy. And
the only way I could outbid him on eBay if
I wanted to bid on that, and I thought, okay,
that's worth a hundred dollars, I had to be a
(14:51):
hundred and fifty or two hundred dollars in order to
get it, because I knew he was bidding on it.
I I met him one day before he passed away,
and I said, you know, you rotten sucker. He looks
at me and I says, you cost me lots of money,
and he just yeah, I know it. It was a
game with him. But I wandered from my museum, and
(15:14):
he had a museum. It wasn't any good. I shouldn't
say it wasn't. He really small and it was never open.
You had to get an appointment there. He might have
had a hundred different items in there. And I love
what I'm doing. I spent half of my life collecting
that stuff back there. Younger people nowadays, if it's not
(15:37):
a cell phone, they're not interested. But I'm surprised that
some of the young people that come in here. That's
a toaster, how does that work? That's a want a coffee?
Well that's cool. Yeah. Some of the young people asked
better questions. And I figured just the old people like myself,
the young ones. I had three boys coming here and
(16:01):
they were up s seventeen eighteen, and I thought, oh,
this is gonna be fun, cause I can usually spot
people that might be interested, and I like showing people that.
And they asked so many questions and the one young
guy says, boy, he says, I can't believe how pretty
some of this stuff is. And I looked at him.
(16:24):
I says, I figured what I call him? Sir? I said,
just stop and think. Everybody loves something that's pretty. I says,
when you're looking for a girlfriend, are you going out
trying to find an ugly one? No, you're looking for
a pretty girlfriend. And they really got a bang now
that and and it's they give me the best donations
(16:50):
of anybody who's ever come through there. I could not
believe it because they were so excited about that's what
going on. They had tons of questions. But when I
told him that he thought, I said, okay, your girlfriend
nushiagby No, I said, there you go. You like pretty stuff.
That's why this museum is different. Everything back there has
(17:12):
its own pretty insto.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
It And a special thanks to Katrina Hein, Jim Watkins,
and Monte Montgomery for all the fine work putting that
story together. What at the Light Richard Larimore the world's
largest small electrical appliance museum in Diamond, Missouri. If it
was small and electric, I had to have it, he said.
(17:36):
We drove the wheels off a car searching for a
porcelain toaster. I love what I'm doing, and so many
Americans have these hobbies. Richard Larimore's hobby the world's largest
small electrical appliance museum. The story of that museum here

walked up and a guy behind the counter, Sir said
what I says. You know, I'm not the smartest man
in the country, but I don't think i'm dumb either.
How does that hair dry with the holes in the sidework?
(13:00):

of me that tornado would take get away. You can't
find that stuff anymore. I'm still looking for things I
(14:06):
don't have, but there's not too many out there. We drove. Oh,
I've been driving all of it. I love looking. I'm
a hunter. I go in there, Oh, I don't have this,
look at that. I spent thousands of dollars on eBay
and I had a good friend of mine. He was
a multi millionaire. In fact, we used to know his name.
(14:30):
He had forty patents. I'm not sure whether it's medical
or whatever. But he was a smart foreign guy. And
the only way I could outbid him on eBay if
I wanted to bid on that, and I thought, okay,
that's worth a hundred dollars, I had to be a
(14:51):
hundred and fifty or two hundred dollars in order to
get it, because I knew he was bidding on it.
I I met him one day before he passed away,
and I said, you know, you rotten sucker. He looks
at me and I says, you cost me lots of money,
and he just yeah, I know it. It was a
game with him. But I wandered from my museum, and
(15:14):
he had a museum. It wasn't any good. I shouldn't
say it wasn't. He really small and it was never open.
You had to get an appointment there. He might have
had a hundred different items in there. And I love
what I'm doing. I spent half of my life collecting
that stuff back there. Younger people nowadays, if it's not
(15:37):
a cell phone, they're not interested. But I'm surprised that
some of the young people that come in here. That's
a toaster, how does that work? That's a want a coffee?
Well that's cool. Yeah. Some of the young people asked
better questions. And I figured just the old people like myself,
the young ones. I had three boys coming here and
(16:01):
they were up s seventeen eighteen, and I thought, oh,
this is gonna be fun, cause I can usually spot
people that might be interested, and I like showing people that.
And they asked so many questions and the one young
guy says, boy, he says, I can't believe how pretty
some of this stuff is. And I looked at him.
(16:24):
I says, I figured what I call him? Sir? I said,
just stop and think. Everybody loves something that's pretty. I says,
when you're looking for a girlfriend, are you going out
trying to find an ugly one? No, you're looking for
a pretty girlfriend. And they really got a bang now
that and and it's they give me the best donations
(16:50):
of anybody who's ever come through there. I could not
believe it because they were so excited about that's what
going on. They had tons of questions. But when I
told him that he thought, I said, okay, your girlfriend
nushiagby No, I said, there you go. You like pretty stuff.
That's why this museum is different. Everything back there has
(17:12):
its own pretty insto.
