✅ SOLVED It's a timer.... For an antique stove? Something else?

[NOLA_Ken]

Ok, it's not very often that I find myself stumped, but I've been searching for a match on this a while now and can't seem to find one..... I know it's a timer, and that it was wired for a light at one time, but beyond that....... I've had this laying around since sometime just after Katrina, it came out of a debris pile or maybe a house we cleared out, I can't remember. It could be from an old timey stove, but it could also have come from a doctor or dentist because I have a big antique medical cabinet that I think may have come from the same place.....

It's enameled cast iron, 27 inches tall, and was once mounted to something. The light socket is long gone, but the timer still works somehow. What I'm trying to find out is : when it was made, what it came off of, if there are people who restore that thing that might be interested in it, or if I should just go ahead and make a base, re wire the light and make a lamp out of it.....



The only markings on the back are what I'm guessing are just casting numbers, 1504 RG. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone is going to recognize it, it'll be someone on this forum.....

Thanks for looking!

It was at the least, sold on Magic Chef stove/ovens in the 30's. Good information in the description at... Antique 1930s Magic Chef Stove Oven Unit | eBay

Good ID! I saw a couple like it online but I couldn't find one still mounted to anything. I wanted to make sure it was a stove part before I started calling it one...

Marked as solved!
