The Vtg Westinghouse Electric 4-Blade Oscillating Metal Desk Fan is a vintage piece from the early 1900s with a round shape and a black metallic finish. This desk fan is designed with a 4-blade axial orientation, suitable for indoor use and powered by 110V electricity. The Westinghouse brand adds a touch of nostalgia to any room, making it a unique and functional addition to a collection of small appliances or decor. With its oscillation feature and original design, this fan offers a charming and efficient way to cool down any space. The fan has had a new cord installed and the gear box greased and the motor oiled. The fan is 3 speed and the switch works as it should. It runs quiet and smooth on all three speeds. It oscillates and works as it should. To stop oscillating, you pull up on the knob on the rear. The blades and guard are in great shape. The cloth wrapped wires going from the base to the motor is intact. Nice old fan to be approximately 100 years old!

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.

Rare Circa 1930 GEM Bakelite Desk Fan. Offered here is a rare circa 1930 GEM desk fan featuring its original Bakelite base-a highly desirable version that is seldom seen on the market.

Its classic metal blade and elegant Bakelite base capture the distinctive Art Deco styling of the early electric fan era. The fan retains an attractive, honest vintage appearance. The metal shows some surface rust consistent with its age, and the power cord has areas where the outer fabric covering has worn away. Please review the photos carefully, as they form an important part of the description. Examples of the Bakelite-base GEM are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and this is currently one of the very few available for sale. Rare GEM Bakelite-base model. Excellent display and collector piece. Increasingly difficult to find.
