Welcome to the fan page. This page is mostly just a photo gallery of my collection of antique oscillating and fixed table fans. many of the fans in my collection are actually used quite a bit in the summer months from May-September. None of the fans you will see here have been restored. When I get them, I clean them, oil them, and make electrical repairs if needed, and replaced the base felt if needed, so they may be used. A few fans just get cleaned, and are not actually used.

This little 8" oscillating fan was made by the AC Gilbert Co., of Erector Set fame. It was made in the early 1920's and is single speed.
This is a Model 79648 AK from the mid 1930's. It is a 16" fan.
This 8-inch GE Quiet Fan was made in the early 1930's. It is a model 55X165. Unlike full-size 12" and 16" GE fans, the 8" uses a quiet motor that does not have the characteristic GE hum.
This 12" Vortalex fan was made in 1937. It is a Model 49X491 Vortalex fans used the unique blade design you see here, and was an exclusive GE design.
This is an early 40's 12-inch Hunter Century Model C-12. Hunter fans have very quiet motors and are excellent air movers.
This 16" Hunter fan is from the mid to late 1930's. It as made when Hunter was a division of the Robbins & Myers Co. It is a model CG-16. This is another excellent fan for daily use.
Knapp-Monarch was a St. Louis company that made many electrical appliances, such as this late 1940's or early 1950's 8-inch table fan. This fan is finished in an attractive brown crinkle finish and does not oscillate.
This 10-inch brass-blade fan was made in the late teen to early 1920's. Still faintly visible is the gold pin striping on the base and motor. The model is 2410.
This 16-inch Robbins & Myers fan form the mid 1930's uses the same blades as the Hunter CG-16 shown above. It is a model 1604 and is a great fan for daily use.
This 10" Western Electric fan is basically a rebadged Robbins & Myers fan. In fact, other than badges and motor tag, it is identical to the 2410 shown above. With 4 brass blades, this model 7804 was made in the late teens or early 1920's. As you can see, mine is missing some oscillator parts.
This little 8-inch fan, made circa 1915, is an AC-DC type fan. Made in Chicago, it was sold under the name Breezer.
