Now is your chance
to own an original
1920's GENERAL
ELECTRIC fan in just
like brand new
condition.
This GE electric fan
has been completely
restored and is
ready for another 80
years of service.
|
|
They truly don't
build them like this
anymore. This
"made in the U.S.A."
GE electric fan is a
working piece of
American history.
This fan has been
refinished in a very
dark, machine green
that was matched to
its original paint.
It is stunning.

The four brass
blades
have been
buffed,
polished, and
clear coated.
They have also
been
strobe-light
balanced to
provide very
smooth
operation. The
mounted blades
are 12" in
diameter and
really move the
air. |
|
The motor
cord and the
line cord are
gold,
cloth covered,
twisted wire
made especially
for antique
restorations.
The plug is a
vintage plug
of the 1920"s.
It too has been
reconditioned
and is like new. |
|
The base and
motor
housing are
constructed
of rugged
cast iron.
The
oscillator
gear housing
is cast iron
also.
A sliding
switch at
the base
provides a
choice of
"off and
three
different
speeds".
Refinishing
involved
complete
disassembly,
stripping to
bare metal,
bead
blasting,
and then
coating.
The gun
applied
finish is a
two part
coating
system,
chosen for
its
durability
and depth of
color. And
it is
stunning.
You see my
fans from
every angle
and they
look
brilliant in
the images
because they
are
brilliant. |

Here
we have
a view
of the
oscillator
gear
housing,
oscillator
control
and
motor
positioning
controls.
Oscillator
gear
housing
has been
packed
with
gear
lube and
is ready
for
another
lifetime
of
operation. |
|
Carrying
handle
is
quite
handy
for
moving
this
very
stout
electric
fan.
This
is a
special
and
unique
feature
of
this
GE
fan.
This
is
called
the
"loop
handle".
The
motor
mounting
and
the
carrying
handle
are
all
incorporated
in a
single,
very
rugged
cast
iron
frame. |

Brass info plate provides all the specs for this fan. Original bakelite switch insulator is in very nice condition.
The new dark green felt cover fits snuggly over the base cover plate and contrasts beautifully with the deep green base.
This fan will be shipped in two separate cartons. Some assembly will be required. Instructions are included. Tech support via email or telephone will be available and is encouraged if there are any questions or doubts. Special motor lube is also included. |
|
This General Electric electric fan has been very carefully, meticulously, and painstakingly restored. The new owner will be proud to show it and will thoroughly enjoy using it.
I have been collecting and restoring electric fans for many years, and I stand behind my work 100%. Also, I am a proud member of the "Antique Fan Collectors Association".
Fixed shipping cost of $30.00 is approximately half of the actual freight charges for insured USPS Priority. I pay the balance to ensure expeditious delivery. Packaging is done with new materials and cartons.
Please check my other auctions, as I also restore vintage telephones. |
