Fresh from an estate is an incredible example of art deco design in a vintage oscillating electric fan. Manufactured by Westinghouse in the 1930s, the fan is a scarce large example that features 16 diameter blades. The design screams art deco, with the geometric cage, angular base, and center cage medallion, and other accents. The fan would be an outstanding addition to an art deco or fan collection given its design and rarity. It has only been gently wiped clean, with several drops of lubricating oil applied to the oil port — it is ready for several more years of dependable service. This fan is ready to display and enjoy immediately! There is an oscillating knob (on the top of the motor housing), which engages/disengages the oscillating mechanism, so the fan can be operated stationary or oscillating. The fan is a three speed model (low, medium, high) and runs and oscillates smoothly on each distinct speed. The fan features a metal base and motor housing with micarta blades. The fan features it’s original paint, which is in a wonderful state of preservation, and should clean up very well. The cloth cord from the motor to the base is original and fraying. There is a spot on the cage that looks to have been welded (difficult to notice) and a cage wire that needs to be rewelded to the back ring (see pic). Please see the many pictures for a visual inspection of the fan. The fan has 16 diameter blades. The fan stands approximately 21.5″ high, is 17.5″ wide and 11 deep. The build quality of the fan is impressive heavy! And represents a bygone era of American manufacturing. This is a fan you can use and enjoy for years to come — a definite conversation starter! Fans make distinctive holiday, birthday, and wedding gifts — stand out from the crowd with a unique gift they will appreciate and not forget. In addition to the practical use of providing air movement, the fan could also be used as wonderful and stylish accent item in a range of settings vintage home, beach house, office, second home, etc. As it really conveys the art deco period of the 1930s.
