Hey guys. So I found this 1920 Electric mug that sold on worthpoint. I was hoping if one of you had a worthpoint you could tell me what it went for. Thank you so much.

Ok thank you. I did email the Edison Tech Center today and I will hopefully get a response back from the GE historian next week. I didn't know collecting antiques could be so nerve racking and exciting. Its just odd that most items you can do a quick search on the internet and poof there it is. Well this is that one thing thats not there and its kinda interesting. Well hopefully something soon. Thank you again!!!

I hate to bug everyone but do any of you know what this might be valued at?

I thought it was a heated shaving cup but I was not for sure. Thats what I orginally thought until I contacted someone from the NSMA which is the National Shaving Mug Association and they said it was not a shaving cup. So I am really torn on what to think it is or what to value it at. Hopefully soon I can find out because I am really anxious. This is my first antique item I purchased so I am really hoping I did well my first purchase.

From the picture from the newspaper ad that is the way it looked. I also talked to a historian today from GE and he said it was a shaving cup with heat. He said he would contact me back about it.

They really made some unique things then and the amazing thing is that this heat cup still works. I keep researching some about it whenever I get a minute and no matter what I search for I cannot find anything except for a news paper advertisement about one.

Oh yes the chord is probably from the early 20s to 30s.

 1908 was the patent date and the the 1909 date on it was when it was made. No it does not come off the stand. So I am 100% that is is from 1909.

Hello,

I purchased this electric cup 1 week ago. Hopefully someone can help tell me exactly what this is and hopefully value it for me. I searched the whole week on the internet and could not find anything about it. The outer layer is made of porcelain and the inner layer is a darker metal. On the bottom it says GEN.ELECTRIC.CO, PAT.OCT.20.1908, JAN.19.1909, Type L-32 then the volts and amps. Hopefully someone knows about this. Thank you all for your time.
