Title: The Virden Co. Electric Heater
Post by: Stevo08106 on June 13, 2010, 04:00:59 PM
Hi guys, I have googled this thing many times and havn't found nothing on it. Only thing that seems to come up are old Ebay posts, which don't show much info. Anyway if anyone can give me some info on my Electric Heater that would be great.

Back of the heater: "little copper tag" Order in which its shown- "V.M.C", The Virden Co., Cleveland O. U.S.A, Volts 105/115, No. 43311, Amps 5.6 i think or 5.8 i cant see it. Anyway any info or worth? Would just be great guys, thank you steve

JC Virden (John C.) wore many hats and had many diverse companys - better known for lamps and other electrical items.

I have seen one other one on ebay but wasnt this one. Pretty wierd i can't find any info on it. Its pretty cool i guess i could put on ebay for $10 or something. It does work, would just need a cord fix up.
