Another Antique Electric Fan
« on: June 19, 2012, 07:00:02 pm »
Picked up yet another fan!  (I have to say these things are cool, just might make a collection out of them yet!)


This is a Westinghouse Electric Fan that I believe dates from the 1930s or 1940s.  It is all metal and quite heavy, certainly built to last.  The fan is in excellent shape with even the words imprinted on it still painted nicely.  It still works, blowing and oscillating; the cord has been replaced as I imagine the old one was shot.
Any experts out there that can help me out with the value of this piece?
Thanks,
Angus

Collector value on old fans has been increasing lately !!  There should be a site that gives values on most of them !!
