Description

On consignment from the well respected Carlton Ward, a longtime member of the Antique Fan Collectors Association known for his exceptional restorations and contributions to the fan community, this restored 12" circa 1903 General Electric Pancake Stick Mount Desk Fan.  This fan has been restored by Carlton in a blue finish with beautifully polished and lacquered brass blades and cage.  Base is accentuated with two hand painted gold pinstripes.  In the early 1900's, General Electric offered custom colors as noted in their catalogs, very few surviving examples of those have been found.  The power cord and head wire were upgraded at the time of restoration using a rich burgundy cloth covered twisted cord.   When supplied with 110v AC, the fan operates smoothly across 5 distinct speeds.  Slow speed is incredibly soothing!  There are signs of wear on the bearing from 120 years of use.  This fan would make a perfect addition to any collection.
