1940s Manning Bowman Metal Fan - Working Electric Table Fan with Metal Blades

A rare find indeed! This electric table fan is from the late 1940s to early 1950s and it still works, with GUSTO! All original parts. This fan has a heavy, cast iron base and metal cage. This is a great tabletop accessory as is or a restoration project for those who prefer a less rustic look. Important note: this fan is not up to current safety standards. We are selling it as a decor piece. If you choose to use it, please be very careful with spinning metal blades. DO NOT USE AROUND CHILDREN.   BIXLEY NOTES • Vintage Electric Table Lamp • Manning Bowman • Between 1948 and 1957 • Height 10.5", Diameter of fan cage 9" VINTAGE NOTES • In excellent vintage condition • Fully functional • As was the tradition of the day, there is no on-off button.
