Item Description
53.75“ overall tall display. 45” tall x 27” wide large
figure of Reddy Kilowatt. 1950s. Constructed out of substantial quality .75"
thick painted wood and has papier mache hands, feet, and head. Back of
11” diameter head is a 5.5“x6.5“ cut opening (which allows
access to wiring on the inside of the head) with insert as made. This insert
has a 1.75“ opening to let heat escape. Two 2.5“ tall, .25“
thick “lightning bolt antennas” protrude from top of Reddy’s
head. He also has a 200 Watt Sylvania light bulb for a nose, which can be
easily changed if it burns out. Figure stands on an 8.75“ tall, 22”
diameter revolving base. Base has a 2” strip of thin aluminum, which
basically covers the edge where revolving platform meets the base. Base has
2-3” tall letters reading, “Reddy Kilowatt.” Rear of base has
a 7x13” opening, which allows access to a rheostat, which allows his nose
to be adjusted from a soft glow to a brilliant light. Inside base is an
electric motor with a revolving cam that continuously rotates the
platform/figure left and right over approximately a 3-4” distance.
Original power cord is still affixed via being attached to the back of the body
of figure. White areas have a few small black rub marks, but almost all are on
the reverse surfaces and of a very minor nature. Small bit of red paint off the
base of his right “antenna.” Overall condition is VF with just
minor traces of age and use, but overall displaying bright and clean. The
ultimate Reddy Kilowatt display piece for this iconic advertising character.
Unique. Please call for shipping information.
