That's quite different from the rectangular Hy-Fry units I've seen in the past.

Epixstar, your fryer does look brand new.  These were sold at Walmart in the 1970's .  We had the brushed aluminum model.   Our's had no light bulb at the signal area, you could see the glow of the heating element. They work well enough.  They are slow to recover  the temperature you have selected after dropping the fry basket.  We always had better luck with smaller batches.  The Presto "Fry Daddy" iirc, came along  after these as the "popular" deep fryer along with the little "Presto burger".

these little fryers are AMAZING. You're going to love the crust it produces.

I have one too! I thought it was older judging by the graphics.
