Circa 1940 Professionally Restored Polarwind by Weber & Hammer

Circa 1940 Polarwind by Weber & Hammer Germany.  This is a very unusual fan from the Terry Fisher collection.  Terry acquired this fan directly from an antique dealer in Germany in 1999.  Upon recept into the USA, Terry sent the fan out for professional restoration.  Today the fan looks and runs as excellent as it did immediately following restoration (25 years ago).  Accompanying the fan is documentation from the collector in England stating he acquired this fan from an older German collector who was selling his entire collection and noted this was the most interesting fan he had ever acquired (from his 200 piece collection).  The term "Industrial" fits this fan perfectly!!  Every aspect of this fan seems as though it was designed for a "Rough and Tough" environment.  Atop the fan are two brackets which may have been used to hang the fan or offer that option.  On/Off switch is super Industrial, the lever has a chain attached which is used to move the lever and lock the rings on the red hook.  This fan is featured in the Antique Fan Collectors Gallery of Desk Fans and is the only example from this manufacturer.  Very unique design in perfectly restored condition.
