Fresh from an estate is a General Electric fan manufactured in the 1940s and marketed under the Vortalex name. The fan blade, cage, motor housing, and base are made of steel. The fan is all original and in beautiful condition, and shows very little signs of use. The tan paint is generally bright and shiny (with some age appropriate scratches and wear), the cord is original and in good condition, and the original brown felt on the bottom of the fan is still present and in good condition. The fan is a three speed model (high – medium – low) and may be operated stationary or oscillating. Best of all, the fan runs beautifully — and oscillates smoothly — on three distinct speeds. The blades measure 16 in diameter — this fans puts out a lot of air! The width is 18.5″, height is 20.25″ and depth is 11.5. The build quality of the fan is impressive — heavy! The fan represents a bygone era of American craftsmanship. If you are looking for a stylish vintage fan in outstanding original condition that is ready to show and use immediately, look no further! The fan would look especially terrific in a mid century home or space. Fans make wonderful holiday, birthday, and wedding gifts — anytime a unique and distinctive gift is needed. They also create a wonderful and stylish vintage look. The fan will be expertly packed (bubble-wrapped and double-boxed).
