The cord on this fan has been replaced, when I bought it, it had already had a replaced cord… So I replaced that cord with a period looking cord. From my research, I could tell that this fan was made in the 1940’s. However, when I was replacing the cord, I noticed the copper wire was tinned, which indicates a more approximate time of around WW2… Because during the war, they did this to conserve copper. This fan works, is almost mint, has chrome plated blades and is in remarkable condition for its age. I used some swan mineral oil to freshin up it’s look. But running the fan on lesser voltage extends it’s life… It’s already outlived its creator and its company, and survived a world war… Maybe it can outlive you too! The 1940’s Desk Fan is a vintage collectible that adds a touch of retro charm to any space. This electric fan is compact and designed to fit on a desk, making it perfect for use in small rooms or in a bedroom to create a cozy atmosphere. With its nostalgic design and functionality, this desk fan is not only a practical small appliance but also a decorative piece that showcases a bygone era of home decor.

Here we have a World War II era table fan from Japan. Need I say more. We were not importing goods from Japan while we were at war with them. Not to mention that like America at a time of war all metal and electrical producers would have been switched over to making war time goods. Making this one of the rarest consumer production fans made. I can not even imagine how this ended up in Cheyenne Wyoming. In the ever popular Mint Green the fan works good. On high it throws air easy 20 feet or better. This one has a 17 cage, oscillates, and tilts to a 45 degree angle. I assume the selector knob is in the wrong position. The speeds are 0-3. However 1 is the fast setting. As well the osculation is struggling. But is is a good working fan as is if you want to keep it as is. The paint is very good with the exception of some missing on the cage. There is zip ties on the cage. All the original metal clips are intact and appear tight so I don’t know the purpose of the ties but I did not mess with them. If you are looking for a retro World War II era industrial steel statement piece for your vintage design application, one that noone else has. This may be the item for you.
