Look cool, I’m not going to buy it tho. Before the days of plastic or maybe I should buy it.

You should buy whatever makes you happy.

I didn’t get a good picture it here’s what it looked like, it was completely made out steel.

Curiously, the patent is a Design Patent, not a Utility Patent. The only claim made was for a "new, original, and ornamental design" for an electric heater, with no claims for technology or functionality.

Granted to Michael W. McArdle of Chicago on 8th January 1929 with a 14-year expiry.
