Here’s a striking piece of 1930s Americana: a vintage General Electric oscillating desk fan in all-metal construction, complete with its original four-blade cage. The heavy cast-iron base and steel blades show rich patina and surface wear consistent with decades of display, and the oscillation mechanism moves freely but the power cord is brittle and untested, so it will need rewiring before you run it. Perfect for restoration projects or as a decorative industrial accent, this fan marries classic GE styling with authentic antique character. Type: Oscillating Desk Fan. Material: Cast iron base; steel blades & cage. Condition: Untested – original cord brittle, needs rewire; free-spinning oscillation; heavy surface patina/rust. Includes: Fan only (no box or extra parts).
