G.E. Cutout #5

Marking:

(Recess-embossed on front)

G.E. CO.
U. S. A.
CAT. NO. 
51874

(Embossed on base-top part)
PAT.JUNE 5 1894

(Embossed on base-lower part)
30AMP. 2500 VOLTS

Color:

Unglazed

Dimensions

5-1/4 inches wide
5-1/4 inches tall
3-1/8 inches thick

Notes:

The patent date on this one is earlier than on the other examples shown above. Also the catalog number is different.

This piece sold on eBay on September 7, 2007 for $61. Other bids were for $60, 39.01, 35, 15, 14. This final price seems a bit high for a piece that generally sells in the $15-20 range, especially since the fuse stick is missing. The early patent date and the unglazed body would justify some of this but a value of $35-40 would be the normal expected range of this piece given the other bids.
