Antique 1925 Westinghouse 516860A Oscillating 12 Desk Fan 3 speeds. That said, this is great fan from 1923. Cage has a bend in it on top, but blades spin freely.

Antique 1925 Westinghouse 516860A Oscillating 12 Desk Fan 3 speeds. That said, this is great fan from 1923. Cage has a bend in it on top, but blades spin freely. 3 spd mechanism moves. Has lightweight blades of bakelight maybe? Won’t take much to have it working.
