Vintage 1950's '' The Manning Bowman Smokeless Table Broiler '' Grill Made by Manning Bowman Co.Meriden, Conn. U.S.A.Volts 110-120 800 wattsC ATL No 1500 Serial 12-45Small little ''Bump'' on the dome... negligible (very hard to show with the camera)No doubt you have noticed a strange looking gadget in the ads for the Twin-O-Matic that looks something like a big chrome flying saucer. That is the Smokeless Table Broiler and it is a real wonder. This appliance actually lets you grill at the table. It actually works pretty well. It can broil with the cover closed, sort of like a modern Weber kettle, or the dome can be reversed and it will work like a Hibachi. It is very cleverly designedIn the "Covered Mode", the chrome "Dome" is hinged to the base and can be lifted with the wooden handle. Food is placed on the grill and the cover is lowered. The cord is plugged into a receptacle shown in the previous photo. The receeptacle is ingenious in that it has two ways of plugging in the cord -- one only activates the inner heating coils ("LOW") while the other connects both the inner and outer coils ("HIGH"). This is the only temperature regulation available -- and the thing gets quite hot! The ''LOW'' do not heat very much. The ''HIGH'' is very hot !!Approx. inside dome size: 10’’ 3/8 diameter (inches)Look pictures carefuly before bidding
