A Tale of Two Crock Pots

My mother is a Crock Pot fanatic. I don't really understand why, since she rarely makes anything in them--no pot roasts, no braises, no stews. The only time she ever used a Crock Pot while I was growing up was to boil Chinese herbs, which she would then force feed us. It was not a good memory. Anyway, over the years, she has collected so many Crock Pots from the Army that she's taken to giving them away to my sister and me. She gave me the Crock Pot above sometime last year. It's the "Crock Watcher" model, and I would date it to around 1975, based on the brown and orange color scheme. A  few months ago, she decided I could use an upgrade. Et voila:

I've been upgraded from a 1975 Crock Pot to, whaddaya think? a 1985 model? 1990?
