NICE WORKING PEERLESS FAN WITH FRONT OSCILLATION. HAS 3 SPEEDS WITH 16 BRASS BLADES. STANDS APPROX: 22 TALL. THE OSCILLATION MOTOR WANTS TO WORK BUT SEEMS AS IF IT NEEDS SOME OIL OR LUBRICATION TO GET IT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. I’M NOT AN EXPERT WITH FANS SO COULD USE SOME SERVICING. FAN PUSHES OUT STRONG WIND AND RUNS QUIETLY. SHOWS COSMETIC WEAR FROM AGE. PLEASE ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU!

Presenting from the collection of a longtime fan enthusiast, this restored Circa 1914 12 Peerless Tab Base Front Oscillator with a brass cage and blade. The fan has been expertly restored in a stunning black finish and the blades and cage have been polished to display a beautiful shine. It oscillates very smoothly and operates on two distinct speeds when running on 110 volts AC, as indicated on the motor tag. Initially, I assumed the fan would have three speeds; however, the low and medium settings on the switch are bridged together. This appears to have been done during manufacturing. We have two other original switches for Peerless front oscillators, and they are also bridged in the same way. Dimensions 17H X 13W X10D.

Works turns on/off and produces 3 different speeds but DOES NOT OSCILLATE – please see video, many scuffs and chips and rust in the paint, grease and oil on it, the cage needs to be tightened because it hits the fan when the fan is running.
