Each sheet metal door is ornamented with a pressed spiderweb pattern radiating from one lower corner and is flanked by two round black plastic knobs. Two metal, electric prongs extend from one end. The electric cord has a shiny black rubber casing, a two-prong wall plug at one end and a coiled wire and cased outlet at the appliance end. Circa 1930s.
