Vintage 12" Emerson Electric 77646-AL Oscillating Table Fan, Not Working

Description

Up for sale is a vintage 12 inch Emerson electric fan that I bought a couple years ago and never did anything with.  It is a type 77646-AL and according to the ID tag was made in 1947.
When I got it I could fiddle with the switch and get it to run. Now when I plug it in and turn it on, it pops the circuit breaker in my workshop. I am selling this fan “as is, as shown.”
The fan appears to be all intact and was given a newish heavy duty cord. However, after doing research it appears it was originally all black. Some past owner must have had the urge/motivation to remove the paint for some reason, perhaps polish the aluminum blade and base? That could have been cool, pun intended.
Please study the photos carefully and contact me if you have any questions.
I will securely pack this fan and ship either USPS Parcel Select or FedEx Ground, your preference. It is heavy so please use the shipping calculator for this auction to determine your cost.
Thank you for looking.
