1920's Antique Original Savory Airator Bankers Black Painted Desk Fan W/Plaque

Description

This auction is for an Antique 1920's Savory Airator Bankers Desk Fan. These fans are Rare and Hard to Find today. They were used by bankers and designed to blow air up to keep papers from blowing off the desks. It is all original still with the original electric cord. The Brass Plaque reads at top "Trade Mark Registered US Patents Office Savory Airator E4348 (sn) Made in USA by Savory Inc. Volts 110 AC Cycles 60 Pats Mar. 15 1926 New York Buffalo Chicago". It weighs approximately 15-18#s and is about 19-20" tall. Cosmetically this fan is in what I would consider good condition for it's age. The black paint is in good shape on both the base and the 2 Piece Globe Cage. The cage surrounds the 4 blades which were made of a composite material developed by Westinghouse.
*** The electrical cord is original and not in good condition. It will need to be replaced. There are a couple chipped holes in the metal base on the front and several on the back. See photos. Common with this type of metal. The 2 piece metal cage is in great condition. It has a sliding locking mechanism that keeps it locked in place. The handle is still attached. ( I would not carry it with this though). There is 1 blade that has been repaired (glued). See photo. The motor runs but I only had it on for a few seconds because the Blades are off center and need to be rebalanced in the base before running. If you want to use this fan make sure you get the blades centered securely before operating ***
