Rare FITZGERALD STAR Antique Fan 8 Electric Vintage 1900’s Nickle Plated. Fan is in good condition. Looks to still have it’s original cloth cord that is in good condition. We did replace the worn felt on the bottom of the fan with new period correct felt. We did take off the fan blade to clean it and put it back on but from what we read we did put it on backwards. This fan has a unique feature of a reverse fan mounting. Fan is untested because it does not have it’s replaceable motor brushes in it. Not sure type they take. This would be a great project to finish.

This listing is for an Antique Early 1900’s Hamilton Beach “The Cyclone” Nickel Plated 8 Electric Fan. A few years ago I acquired this as well as some other items from an elderly gentleman that was an avid collector in vintage electronics and ham radio equipment his whole life. He had everything from microphones, reel to reel decks, CB base stations and turntables as well as instruments from the 1950’s and 1960’s. All of these items were handed down to him from his father as he himself took over collecting as well. This fan had been tuck away on a bookshelf in his fathers radio shop for many many years and was only somewhat dusty due to the low shelving that it was placed on. I blew the dust off and took a rag and wiped it clean for picture purposes. That is the extent of the cleaning that was done as I know nothing about restoration and didn’t want to disturb any patina if someone chose to keep it just the way it sits. It is in extremely nice condition cosmetically considering its age and still works but could use a good cleaning. The nickel plating has a couple of minor age related surface tarnish spots but there are absolutely no dents, dings or breaks anywhere to the cage, base or housing. It stands 8″ tall at the back with a 9″ cage diameter and a square base measuring 4 7/8″ x 4 7/8″. It has a cloth cord which does have a couple of “frayed” spots to the outer coating but still works well. It features a brass nameplate motor tag which carries the serial number F1641 (see 2nd to last pic). He stated that a few collectors said that the oldest known fan that they had seen was numbered F3727 which would make this fan even earlier yet. To my surprise, I learned that HB even produced other products that early such as electric vibrators, sewing machines and drink mixers. At any rate, I’m certain collectors will know so much more than I have researched and will find that with a complete restoration, this fan would make an excellent addition to someone’s collection and you will be hard pressed to find another one quite this old in this kind of condition. The item “Antique Early 1900’s Hamilton Beach The Cyclone Nickel Plated 8 Electric Fan” is in sale since Wednesday, January 16, 2019. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Kitchen & Home\Electric Fans”. The seller is “seminole2651″ and is located in Mattoon, Illinois.

Antique early century GE 6 brass plated blades (12) fan. Please see my other auctions for more great vintage fans including a rare DEBONAIR with octagon cage. If you live east of the Mississippi, it will cost less. Another oldie found here in New England. I didn’t dare plug this one in looking at the age and condition of the wiring. Appears to be complete. Ready for your restoration. Blades are 12 across. Approximate total height is 17 inches. Blades appear to be plated with brass as a magnet will still stick to them. NOTE that the cage is attached incorrectly so that the GE logo isn’t right side up. Also there is one intentionally bent rear section of the cage that is supposed to be at the bottom so you are able to tilt the fan downward (bend gives clearance with the base). Please study all the photos below. I’ll show you all around the fan…. Here is the GE logo as it is supposed to be orientated. And the cage as it is supposed to be when attached correctly. The intentionally bent section is supposed to be at 6 o’clock. A look at both sides. And the other side. A look at the base. It appears to be all here. Showing the back and the motor assembly. C’mon you know you want it! Condition is GD as found. Wear and tear which testifies to its age and vintage. Please examine photos and ask any questions. Overseas on this item IS ACCEPTED… NO reserve so NO EXCUSES….. Item is described as completely and as honestly as possible. I mean this in the strongest terms possible. If you are uncomfortable with this, then I don’t know what else to tell you. NO local area pickups.
