Very cool vintage machine. I plugged it in and it blows air well, there is 1 of the refreezable metal ice cans in it. This is a 1950s vintage air conditioner that works by blowing air over ice packs. It is in nice shape needing only a bit of cleaning and the ice packs. The metal can ice packs are fairly easy to find or one could just use the packs that come with mailed frozen foods. Tested and both fans are working. Approx measurements are 18″ wide, 8 1/2″ deep and 11 tall. Includes both ice trays used for cooling (see pictures). Nice, well cared for example of Mid Century Modern Design. The fans blow air over the ice packs to creat cool air. See pictures for complete condition details.

This Turek ornate intricately cast iron motor case is a part of a original 1890’s Tuerk, Hunter Fan & Motor Co. Two blade model antique electric ceiling fan. It is around 125 years old. One of the blade attachment points is broken and the pieces are all there. Look at the photos as I have them with the pieces sitting in place and without so it can be brazed back together and the photos show the condition There is another part included that fits internally. There is some rust pitting. Turek fans are quite scarce and are a fantastic fan as the entire motor case spins and the blade angle can be adjusted with the fan running. The fans were available in japanned or oxidized copper, nickel and black finishes. This listing is for the parts seen in the photos.

Good condition vintage Montgomery Wards 3 Speed Window Box fan with Avocado Green metal case and plastic grills – the grills are a bit yellowed and can be cleaned up nice. Bottom shows some rust, see pics. Puts off very good air flow. Even without the stabilizing feet, it is very sturdy and remains balanced even on the highest setting. 23 tall (including handle).
