Spectacular condition Singer Ribbonaire 1930’s art deco style fan with original fabric blades in solid condition. Bakelite looks great and has no cracks. One VERY small chip towards the back of the joint where the fan can fold/adjust. Two minor scuffs noted near one of the ribbons. The cord is original and is in very good condition. The plug is scuffed on one side. The bottom decal is near mint condition. One or two of the rubber “feet” on the bottom ring have cracking. The fan is fully functional! Both low and high speeds work well. There is a slight wobble with the fan blades/head when going from “off” to “low” but this is completely eliminated if you go from “off” to “high” to “low” first (getting to full speed first before turning it down in a number of seconds). Please see all photos and ask questions, as needed.
