Very rare original finish Edison iron Clad fan. These very rarely come up for sale. Fan runs great on 4-6 VDC. The condition on this one is ok and displays nicely as is or it could also be a candidate for restoration. It does still have a reasonable amount of original paint with some gold pin striping. The Edison signature is still visible but it is faint and worn. I did go through the fan and it is complete and runs great. I’ll get a video of this fan running posted soon. For such a small fan it puts out an impressive amount of air. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Kitchen & Home\Small Appliances\Electric Fans”. The seller is “6556” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

By hand the fan turns but I have no idea if it works. I took closeup pictures for you to decide its condition for yourself. The wire case needs to be straightened and is very dirty and needs to be cleaned. It would make this a great item for the serious fan collector. Size Approx 15 H from the bottom to the top. The Brass fan blade is 12 W. The wire frame is 13 W. Most of my items are vintage. They naturally show wear from age and use. You are ultimately responsible for viewing photos and asking questions.
