Don’t forget to look at my other old stuff for sale. The Emerson Electric Company introduced the Silver Swan at the height of the Depression in 1934. Its creation is an interesting story in itself. Joe Newman, an Emerson board member who was soon to take Emerson’s helm, challenged a St. Louis interior designer named Jane Evans with designing a modern desk fan that would depart conventional desk fan design. The result was one of the most beautiful, yet functional fans ever manufactured. The Silver Swan embodies the graceful elegance that its name implies, while its engineering is premium quality Emerson Electric of the 1930s. Emerson described the fan best in period literature. They simply called it “aristocratic”. The 12 Emerson Silver Swan desk fan represented in this gallery is a past restoration. The Silver Swan model is available in 10″ and 12″ versions.
