Bidspirit auction | Lot of Three Early 20th

Lot of Three Early 20th Century Fans - C-22002 Collection of three vintage electric fans including a pedestal fan and two oscillating desk fans produced during the first half of the 20th century. The group features steel blade assemblies, wire safety cages, cast metal housings, and painted finishes typical of early American electric fan manufacturing. The left desk fan bears a K emblem at the center hub, while the right desk fan is marked Westinghouse across the cage support. The pedestal fan retains its original adjustable tubular stand and cast iron base. Intended for commercial, industrial, and residential use, these fans represent the evolution of electric air circulation during the Art Deco and early Machine Age periods. Fans are in very good condition and all knobs and switches work as appropriate. Kenmore fan motor does not work, however both Emmerson (tall) and the Westinghouse fan motors work. The cloth cord on the Westinghouse is frayed, and it is strongly suggested to be rewired before use. All fans exhibit some loss of paint and slight oxidation due to age and use. Sold as is. Base: 12” Diam x 48” H
