    Description

    See photos for condition and detail.  Fan weighs 6 1/2 lbs.  I can’t find any Arctic aire fans that are painted like this, nor with the exact grill shapes.  I believe it is late 1930’s or early 1940’s.  Cord is about 7 ft. Long.  The cord that goes from the base to the motor has a crack in it.  See photo.  This is an estate find.  I suppose someone could have repainted this fan, but if they did they did a really really good job.
    The fan works great.  There is a wing nut that moves the fan, and it oscillates.  The silver knob on the back tightens for oscillation.  It sounds strange, but the blade assembly appears to “float” about an 1/8” when it oscillates.  When it does this, it makes a noise part of the time.  The noise is a rattle.  If it is not oscillating, there is no noise, nor does the blade assembly “float”.  One speed.
    It is a very cool fan, no pun intended.
    Please ask questions.  I know nothing about fans.
