Cory Hot Spot Portable Heater, Circa 1957



A collection of images from a reconditioned portable electric heater probably made between the years of 1954 and 1960. Not exactly an electric fan, but it does have a fan in it as it blows air across the hot electric coils to provide heat during cold winter nights. Not very valuable as a collector's item since they are not in high demand. An item like this really only gets used during emergency type situations; however, almost every home has a portable heater in one form or another.

Produces a fair amount of heat and as such should be on a 20 amp circuit or a dedicated 15 amp one. It is very stylish, very quiet and somewhat dangerous if not handled and maintained properly.

The flash from the camera reveals imperfections and discolorations that can only been seen under magnification and under abnormal lighting conditions. You can zoom in on the images if you mouse over them. During autoplay zoom is disabled. Shrinking the browser window will shrink its contents possibly making it easier to view the gallery.

Valued in the range of $45 - $60.
