1919 2 Star 75423 12 3 Speed. GE 2 STAR AOU Oscillating Brass Blade Fan. Restored by AFCA member. Runs cool, smooth and quiet. Type: AOU Form: V 1. Brass Blade 12 has a nick on each of three blades. New period style head wire and power cord. Cleaned/oiled motor and bearings. Wick condition new and has been oiled. Oscillation gearbox opened and new grease added. GE Introduced the Three Star oscillator in 1914 and it ran for about two years. However around 1916 apparently GE decided that the third star was not worth the cost. The brass star shaped set screw at the neck was replaced with a cast iron screw knob, the Two Star oscillator was born. From 1917 to 1919 the two stars were made with brass, steel & aluminum blades. The cage was all brass or a combination of steel & brass or steel in the S wrap style. For all practical purposes these two fans are the same fan, but fan collectors like to call them Two Stars and Three Stars. Must have United States lower 48 address. PLEASE view pictures as they are a part of the description…. I can not be responsible for the design safety of these fans, especially guarding, which is inherent in their early designs.
