| Clue #1: It's a metal ladybug. It's heavy. 6" long, 5" wide, 3" high. |
 |
| It has a cord. A really short cord. 6" long. When you plug it in... |
 |
| ...that metal circle with a square-shaped hole in it spins slowwwwwly while making a nice quiet grinding hum. Like something else would attach to it and turn? (So, there's a motor inside.) See those metal things on either side that make it seem like it would slide onto something? |

| Electrohome Limited, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada 1976 Do Not Expose To Rain (Ne Pas Exposer A La Pluie) Researched the company and Electrohome made crazy funky TV/Stereo consoles in the 1950s and 60s , among other things, and then started making outdoor accessories later. Oh, also says "Made in Korea" under that bottom emblem. |

| And that's what I know about this Electric Ladybug. |

Not a clue. Not even an intelligent guess. But I'm dying to find out if anyone else knows.
ReplyDeletesounds like the title of a new Encyclopedia Brown case...
ReplyDeleteIs that my sister Julie T? No one is helping me out here! Need to share with Dad.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a computer mouse or hand massager but pretty useless for those functions with such a short cord!
ReplyDeleteI did some Google-ing and didn't find anything on this ladybug. Have you come up with anything yet?
ReplyDeleteNope, nothing! (But see Nick's comment below.) I finally listed it in the shop...we'll see what comes of it!
DeleteMight be a motor for some kind of kitchen appliance. I know that rotisseries have similar (but usually less decorative) attachment.
ReplyDeleteWell, that would make the short cord a bit more sensible...
DeleteI just found one in an old attic, I think it is a motor to use for rotisserie on your BBQ
