Need help identifying this awesome deco part.

I bought this for 20 bucks cause it was so cool. I have no idea what/where it is from... Originally I thought a heater cover but don't heaters have doors that open and close? Maybe early a/c?

 

It looks like some writing on the front......is it readable?
If so, could be a hint.

 

looks like a drive-in movie speaker

 

I think it is a heater cover too. The center strip looks similar to the one on a Tropicair heater I have

 

The center reads "De Luxe"
It's to big to be a drive in speaker..
It's about 12" tall, 8" wide and 6 deep bolted to something flat in the back.
It reminds me of a rocketeer mask.

 

Here's another view..

 

Save it for Halloween. A nice black patent leather cape and you'll be ready for a stroll down Hollyweird Blvd.

 

Sure is a nice heater housing. Looks like the grille on a 1937 Oldsmobile six.

 

It's a heater. i have a DeLuxe sitting on the shelf.

 

Its a heater casing, got one the same here.

 

Looks like a realy big microphone

 

Its a grill shell for a Ratrod Pedal Car!

 

Early Mopar heater

 

That's what I thought too. My mind immediately went to "Now where could I get a 30 foot Elvis?"

 

Wanna sell it?

 

Ill trade ya some marbles and a stick of juicey fruit for it.

 

I know sears sold some heater that had deluxe wrote on them....I have one of there later heaters from the early 50's.
