In great working condition. I believe it is three speeds. I don’t know the material that is covering the brass cage, but the brass is visible in a few areas. Measures approximately 19 inches high. Very unusual and difficult to find especially in this condition. Please ask any questions and thanks for looking.

By hand the fan turns but I have no idea if it works. I took closeup pictures for you to decide its condition for yourself. The wire case needs to be straightened and is very dirty and needs to be cleaned. It would make this a great item for the serious fan collector. Size Approx 15 H from the bottom to the top. The Brass fan blade is 12 W. The wire frame is 13 W. Most of my items are vintage. They naturally show wear from age and use. You are ultimately responsible for viewing photos and asking questions.
