Description

Hello. I believe I have a heating mug or shaving mug. This has the GEN.ELEC.CO engraved on the bottom. It says PAT.OCT.20.1908 and then a date under that, that says JAN.19.1909. It has the General Electric logo. It says Type L-32, Volts 110, Amps 1.4 and then is says U.S.A. I plugged it in for about 5-10 seconds and it still works. I would really like to know what this exactly is and how much it may be worth. Thank you for your time.
