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.

One speed, spins and oscillates well. The cage is a little bent and held with wire in two places. The cord looks original and is in good shape.

Oscillation is a little slow.

Extremely rare General Electric company England art deco dual sided partners desk fan. Overall the physical condition is very good for its age, it could use a good polishing, and the frame has some spots where it is slightly bent. 1 blade is missing 1 small nut for the tiny screws holding the blade on, this should be easy to find at a hardware store. I want to reiterate, there is a difference in frequency and voltage between American and European appliances, and especially antique European appliances were not made to run on American power outlets, so I can not guarantee that it will work here or be responsible for damage caused to the motor by using converters. Fan measures approx 18.5″ tall 13″ wide and 7.5 deep. Please ask any questions prior to purchasing.

I believe the red is from repainting, but no guarantees. Blades measure 10 across. Minor bend in the grill. The button at the back turns the fan on, but I can’t get the top knob to do anything. Items are preowned and show signs of use such as scratches/smudges/scuffs/dust/residue/etc. Please Look pictures over well for better description. I do my best to describe and show items, but I do sometimes miss things. Thank You for looking.
