This is a GE brand vintage electric desk fan produced in the 1930s or 1940s. It features an industrial, functional design characteristic of the era.
Key Characteristic
  • Design: The fan has an "open cage" or "S-wire" style safety guard, a design that became standard during the late 1890s to protect the blades. It features a heavy, cast-iron base for stability and a black finish typical of industrial appliances of that time.
  • Blades: It is equipped with four wide, metal blades, painted a light color, possibly gray or silver, which was a common feature for fans in the 1940s and 1950s after the production of brass blades ceased during World War II.
  • Functionality: The fan has an oscillating feature, as many models from this period offered both stationary and oscillating settings.
  • Condition: The fan shows clear signs of age, including dust, wear on the paint finish, and surface rust on the metal components. Although the fan does work, the power cord is old and may require updating for modern, safe use.
  • Measurements: 21"H x 17"W
