I decided to make my vintage Arvin heater a little safer so I salvaged a thermal fuse from a old sunbeam bread maker a. So I installed it in the heaters frame . And how old is it and was 5$ a good price for it. |

Neat! A rollover cutoff switch might also be a good idea. I like how it has a light bulb on it to make it look like it's working lol.
If I had to venture a guess, I'd say just post-war, maybe pre-war. Still a bit too art-deco to be up into the 1950s. You know you can buy all the thermal fuses you want from places like Digi-key or Mouser. I just got a couple recently for an attic fan motor that'd burned its fuse. |

I just replaced the old aspetos power cord with one from a burned up chop saw and I also polished the little two blade fan and it works great |
