The fan is a wonderful small size (8 diameter bade) and is in outstanding vintage condition. It appears it was used very little and stored carefully. The fan is very unique in that the base/neck is made of bakelite. Also unique is the wonderful badge on the center of the cage with a red cardinal — it would make a wonderful and distinctive gift for a St. The fan blade and cage is made of steel, and the motor housing (save a steel metal band) and base are made of bakelite. The fan retains its original paint, which is in outstanding condition. The bakelite is also in excellent condition save for a hairline crack on the upper neck of the fan — please see the photo. The cord is newer replacement. Please view the pictures for a visual examination of the fan’s cosmetic condition. The fan was manufactured without a switch and is designed as a “plug-and-play” fan. The fan runs well and fast! The fan blades measure 8 in diameter. The fan’s height is approximately 10″, it is 9″ wide, and 6 deep. Fans provide a wonderful and stylish vintage look, and this fan is ready to be displayed and used. Considering giving an antique fan as a birthday, holiday, or wedding gift — stand out from the crowd with a distinctive and unique gift! The fan will be expertly packed (bubble-wrapped and double-boxed). Please see my feedback to learn how much clients appreciate the care I take in packing items. I have lots of other fans listed!
