Inspecting a 1950 house yesterday. Came across Wesix electric in wall heaters in most rooms. All worked, though very dusty. Does anyone know anything about these? They look dangerous to me, especially if there are kids around.

They are antiques - which is not necessarily safe for heating systems. Their covers can get blistering hot.
I would suggest making sensible recommendations with regard to safeguarding children and keeping combustibles clear of them, or removing the systems completely.

Thanks Jeff. I suspected as much as a google search turned them up in a number of auctions. Your suggestion for reporting is well taken.
