The Vintage General Electric Fan GE Vortalex Oscillating is a round, metal cage fan with a brown color finish. It operates on electrical power with 2 speeds and features oscillation for better airflow. This original GE product from the United States is suitable for indoor use in any room. With its vintage design and switch control style, this table/desk fan is a charming collectible for fans of retro appliances. It has been in my family for over 70 years and as of today, I’ve recently cleaned the inside and out, and I have tested it and it works in both speeds, but part of the cage is missing as illustrated in the pictures.

Gorgeous piece of history as far as heating goes. This works when plugged in. I assume the base is cast iron given how heavy it is. Has a tilt key that works.

The 1938 GE 16 Blade 78X233 60 Amp Art Deco Industrial Fan is a vintage and antique piece suitable for indoor use. The fan is designed with an iron construction and a black color finish on the body and casing, but the blades look gold/brass, showcasing the classic Art Deco style. It’s got some wear and corrosion but could be cleaned or appreciated as is! It’s really beautiful (and heavy) and deserves a great new home.

This Fidelity Electric motor has been tested and it does run as shown in the video. I didn’t run it longer than a few seconds because it will need lubricated and the electric cord looked at. It’s been mounted to run on a lamp style pull switch so it was probably being used to power something via belts, etc. It’s a neat piece!
