A quite wonderful early electric kettle
Travelling in it\'s original felt lined fitted case, the kettle has clearly never been used
Paper covered case with shaped metal portable handle and fold over clasp, the kettle itself appears to be made of chromed aluminium but I am not 100% sure
The lid of the box has printed the model name PROMETHEUS together with the German text Elektrische Reisekocher which translates as Electric Travel Cooker
There is also a trademark which looks like dp joined within a diamond shape which is repeated on the base of the kettle - I have no idea who this refers to
As was practise during the early 1900s, the kettle has 3 optional points with different voltages preferred ; 110V, 150V and 220V
and maximum wattage of 500W on the base
I have not been able to date the kettle precisely but the styling and wicker covered folding handle and loop on the lid suggests manufacture in the early 1930s, Art Deco period or possibly earlier
Untested, the kettle holds 2 pints of liquid and the element must be fitted in a coil around the lower part of the body as shown
A fabulous collectors piece, I just cant imagine finding such an early kettle in such wonderful condition
Only condition issue to highlight are rubs to paper covering of box shown
Happy to send overseas, please get in touch to confirm destination specific postal quotation -
external measurement of box is H7\" x W6.25\" x L7.75\" (18 x 16 x 19.5cm approx.)
