It seems to run fine and look good. It even has Parker marked blades. It looks to be missing a screw, possibly something else in the area of where it oscillator connects to the brass arm. It also looks to be missing a case plate. Both items that should be easy to find. Message me with questions.

Antique SIGNAL 17 1930s Art Deco Osculating Electric Fan Model No. This fan has been tested and it is in good working condition. This thing is SUPER clean too. The previous owner took very good care of it and kept it safe. The plate is very hard to read because it’s so faded but with a magnifying glass I was able to make out it’s model number. I was hoping to find a date on it but had no luck there although I believe it was made in the 1930s. It stands 19″ tall and the fan is 17″ in diameter. The base and the rest of the body is made of heavy cast iron. I believe that all the parts are original including the paint. It works properly and it is actually QUIET! I expected it to sound loud but not at all. It can tilt all the way back aiming straight up if desired and the oscillation works as well. They, meaning US the USA, really knew how to make things back then especially compared to the trash being mass produced today. This fan is a perfect example of the quality of machinery back then. This is a great old fan and you won’t be disappointed. Please view photos for more info and condition and always feel free to ask questions. Thank you for viewing!

1501Up for your consideration is this Antique Diehl Articulating Electric Fan Cat No. The articulating mechanism spins however I’m not sure how it works or if it’s missing a part. Everything indicated in photographs. Thanks for taking a look! Antique / Vintage Diehl Electric Fan / Desk Fan 1920’s / 30’s Motor Working As Seen In Picture One Very Collectable Blades Measure Approximately 18 1/2 inches Across Standing Approximately 21 The fan Definitely requires rewiring. The adjustment to tilt the fan up or down, this appears to have the original wing nut in place. Diehl (January 29, 1847 – April 7, 1913) was a German-American mechanical engineer and inventor who held several U. Patents, including electric incandescent lamps, electric motors for sewing machines and other uses, and ceiling fans. Diehl was a contemporary of Thomas Edison and his inventions caused Edison to reduce the price of his incandescent bulb. In July 1868, he immigrated to New York City where he worked in several machine shops before finding work as an apprentice with the Singer Manufacturing Company. In 1870 or 1871 he was transferred to Chicago, Illinois and worked at Remington Machine Company until 1875. The electric fan was invented in 1882 by Schuyler Skaats Wheeler. A few years later, Philip Diehl mounted a fan blade on a sewing machine motor and attached it to the ceiling, inventing the ceiling fan, which he patented in 1887. Later, he added a light fixture to the ceiling fan. In 1904, his Diehl and Co. Added a split-ball joint, allowing it to be redirected; three years later, this developed into the first oscillating fan.

A wonderful classic piece of history this 1919 Westinghouse 12 osculating table fan with beautiful brass fan blades.

Operations The fan appears all original and untouched. It has a 3-speed switch which turns the fan on and off. The fan motor needs a little blade spin to get started and the switch does not change speeds most likely needs cleaned inside.

Does work great on all three speeds. I can figure out how to operate the oscillating part- the knob does turn in the back for the oscillating. The cord is old and the is some electrical tape on it. What you see is what you get. Needs cleaned and polished. I didn’t want to damage it in any way that is why I didn’t clean it. Comes with scuffs and scratches.

This antique Western Electric 12 Brass Blade Osculating 3 Speed Fan is in very good condition. It works on all 3 speeds & osculates as it should It runs very quiet, however there is a very slight vibration that I’m not sure what causes it. It is very clean for it’s age & has a few specks of white paint here & there & a little paint loss. The electrical cord looks to be original & is in good shape with some fading to it, probably from sun exposure. The cord going from the fan base to the motor could use replacing. The cage is in good shape, not bent up like some that I see. Three of the solid brass 12 blades have a very slight ding at the tip, the worst one is shown in the last pic. Could probably be hammered out, if you wish. The other 2 dings are hard to see, not noticeable at all, unless you look very close. All in all a very nice & usable old fan. Really easy to put back on. Please see pics, they are part of the item description. Thanks for lookin, Theo. The item “Antique Western Electric 12 Brass Blade Osculating 3 Speed Fan” is in sale since Sunday, April 01, 2018.
