Very rare 1930’s Edgar T Ward “Zephyr ” high velocity industrial propeller fan designed by Robert D Budlong. This was removed from a restaurant that was in business from the late 30’s into the early 60’s. Has beautiful stepped deco cast iron base. It was designed to be sat on a counter or mounted on the ceiling or wall. It is in nice physical condition and still works great and puts out a ton of air. There was originally a pull switch to turn it on and off but somewhere along the way the switch must have broken because it was hardwired to be on all the time and controlled by a switched outlet in the restaurant. This is a large, rare and heavy fan. A relic from a time when things were meant to last a lifetime. This is NOT a best offer listing. The price is not negotiable. This is a large, rare, heavy electrical item. Fan will need to be picked up at location it is being stored. I will NOT deliver.

Very rare 8 Jandus oscillator fan. This is a neat fan to watch tun. But it was also a poor design and very few were mad and even fewer have survived. I’ll post a video soon. Video will open in a new window. Using the mobile app?

Here is a seldom seen Victor Zephyr fan in near mint condition with just a few small spots of paint loss but not bad at all. I could find no rust anywhere.
