Professionally restored antique General Electric 12 fan. Approx 1911 per the Witt book. Marked Type 706260, Pat Aug 13,’95 & June 25, 1901. I decided to have this beautiful old fan painted a rich burgundy, with a bit of sparkle, when I had it professionally restored as I had many, many other fans with the standard black with brass blades. You will love this fan. The 1911 GE Kidney fan was GE’s second attempt at an oscillating fan. Unfortunately the use of pot metal (cast zinc) combined with design decisions made this fan a very poor long-term survivor. Nearly any Kidney fan that is available today is either lacking the kidney gearbox or the gearbox is in very poor condition. The kidney oscillators are hard to come by with the original kidney in tact as they tend to get broken over time, but not this one. The brass blades, cage, screws, and other brass hardware has all been professionally polished and lacquered. The paint job is flawless. Simply switch the lever from “OUT” to “IN” and the oscillation action begins. Tilt is adjusted by pulling the spring loaded plunger arm on the right side of the fan and moving the fan to your desired position. All electronics and mechanical elements have been thoroughly restored. This fan will last another 100+ years.
