This 16 GE fan is in good original condition for its age. The both wires have been cut off and would need to be replaced. The motor spins and it in is complete with everything as seen in photos.

In excellent used condition tested and works fine. Eyes light up and fan oscillates effortlessly. Comes with original box and owners manual. It’s very rare to have the original box with it!

Completely taken apart and restored. New power cord and felt. Runs perfectly on 3 distinct speeds. Before and after pictures. Cage and blade will be removed and boxed separately. I have seen a very similar fan being described as Designed by Peter Behrens for AEG but I cannot validate that.

The paint is 100% original and pretty nice with only slight nicks here and there but very presentable. The blades are clean and shiny and would probably buff up a bit. The fan works but the cage around the blades has been crimped in and the blades stopped moving. Could be bent out to original form but I’ll pass on doing that as I’ll most likely break it. One of the cage bars is separated from a connecting bar and could be epoxied or glued back – look at pictures The cloth covering over the cord is falling apart but the actual wiring looks ok. It’s a great looking fan for a person who appreciates color variations. Ask questions if you have them. Sell to Us 48 States only.

This item is not branded. I don’t see any maker indications. It does work and it actually rotates as well.
