This item is an antique Graybar oscillating desk fan, Cat. 75G425, with four brass blades, a brass Graybar “Quality” hub badge and a cast-iron base. The base tag reads Graybar Elec. 272189-1, 110 volts, 60 cycles, with High / Medium / Low speeds. The fan was recently rewired and it runs. It is slow to get going and may need a gentle push to start. Four riveted brass blades with natural patina, light spotting and dust. The blade hub has a prior repair with heavy solder or filler built up around the center where the blades attach (see close-up photo). The brass hub badge reads Graybar Quality. The paint is worn and scratched. 3-speed lever switch in the base, marked High / Medium / Low. Oscillating gear housing with a brass knurled knob stamped IN. The housing has paint loss and chipping, and the lower casting has a rough edge. Tilt adjustment with wing nuts and a cast carrying handle on the motor. The wire cage is mostly complete, with a twisted wire tie at one point on the outer ring. The cast-iron base has general paint wear and some surface rust at the rim. The green felt pad underneath is worn, torn and lifting. Recently rewired, with a twisted cloth lead to the motor. Tested: It runs on all functions shown. It is slow to start and may need a nudge to get going. Type: Desk / table fan, oscillating. Number of blades: 4. Speeds: 3 (High / Medium / Low). Voltage: 110V, 60 cycles. Country of manufacture: United States. Condition: Used, working (slow to start), recently rewired.
