| Hi All! Im new to group. I am hoping to find someone who can tell me about this lil gem of a heater/fan. Its been in my family for a long time. Mostly at my 91 yr old G-mas house. It is very well preserved..been kept in original box. Only flaw is the rubber no-slip grips on base of stand are brittle. Im hoping someone here can tell me about it, and if it has value. Its Fresh'nd-aire Heaterette Model 1650. If Anyone knows anything on this..plz help! Thanks so much! Angela Attached Image (viewed 113 times):

| I have one as well but seem to have much less information at my disposal as of now (sans box), but what I would like to know is how yours runs on the fan + heat setting. Just a picture of it turned on will do, doesn't have to be a video or anything. Attached Image (viewed 102 times):

Should say Cory Corporation somewhere on the thing. The design patent was filed in 49. I saw a beauty at a antique shop for $15. Still quite of few of those floating around. Hope this helps.

| Facing the Front of the Fan, Switch to R is just Fan..I was amazed..No noise at all, super quiet, lots of power! (yep, never plugged it in before) Switch in center is off, switch to Left Fan runs at a low speed and heat coils glow red almost instantly! Im thinking this may have never been used. Its super clean w/out signs of use..the copper parts still shiny and new looking, etc.This is nothing Ill ever use..so it may be going on ebay in the near future. Im a mom of a toddler..So Its going back in the closet for now. Still if anyone has any more input on it, id love to hear! Posting 3 pics..different angles. Thx, Angela this first pic was taken w/ the fan going... Attached Image (viewed 37 times):

| Definitely a unique piece, I do not know much about these little Fresh'nd-Aire heaters but I would sure love to get my hands on one.
