This Manning Bowman model 494 "Party Urn" chrome and Bakelite electric coffee percolator has a great Art Deco ball shape. The patent numbers on the bottom date to the late 1920s though it was in production through most of the 1930s. It holds 24 cups heats up just fine. The cloth covered cord and basket are present.

The dark yellow Bakelite or Catalin base, handle insert, and round disk spout decoration have no nicks or chips. The chrome finish is clean and shiny with no corrosion. There is one short, shallow scratch to the back of the urn and two tiny pinpoints dimple at the front, just below the ringed center band and to the left of the spout (none of the three were visible in any of the pictures I took). The glass perc top is a replacement - the original split cleanly in half vertically top to bottom when I went to wash it. I'll include the two pieces with shipment in case you prefer to have the original for display. The cloth covered cord is in great condition with no damage or fraying. The coffee maker is about 15 inches tall to the top of the raised handle by 11 inches at the widest point where the handles attach.
