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 circa 1903 General Electric 12" Pancake Stick Mount Desk Fan showcases Carlton's craftsmanship.  Fan has been restored in rich burgundy, 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!  This fan would make a perfect addition to any collection.  The thumb screw in the neck differs from the original intended screw.
