DEFROSTER?

[jscheib]

Among things my father accumulated and not used in restoration of our '32 Buick, I found what appears to be an "in car" defroster manufactured by Schwarze Electric Co. in Adrian, MI. It is Model 71 "Safe Ray", with a small electric coil inside a crome plated cup (about 2" diameter and 3" deep) with reflector, and mounted to an arm with adjuster. Looks like a bracket would srew or bolt to the dash.

Does anyone know what it is for sure? And what year they were made.

Thanks,

John

I hope I have properly attached to photos that will show the item in question and bring it to the top. Hoefully, someone has seen these before and can help.

Added photos and want to move this to the top.

I am still hopeful that someone can ID this item.

I am pushing it again to the top to hope someone after the holiday weekend some new people might see it and have some idea. Thanks for looking.

You say 32 Buick. I know that Chevrolet offered a defroster very similar to yours in 1932. I am quite sure it is in the accessories pamphlet.

Thanks for the info. The defroster never was connected in the Buick. It was just something my father had acquired "along the way". It looks like it would be period correct if I use it.

Thanks again. I will look for an accessories catalog.
