Vintage 1940’s General Electric Oscillating Vortalex Fan 4 Blade 3. RECOVERED FROM AN ESTATE LIQUIDATION. THIS IS AS IT WAS RECOVERED. BRUSHED OFF ALL THE DUST PLUGGED. IT IN AND THE FAN AND OSCILLATOR. BOTH WORK LIKE THEY SHOULD. POWER CORD AND PLUG HAVE SOME TAPE ON THEM. BUT THEY BOTH LOOK GOOD. NO BROKEN OR BARE WIRES ANYWHERE. THE BLADES ARE PAINTED. BUT THEY ARE NON MAGNETIC. MAY BE MADE OF ALUMINUM. THERE IS NOT A DATA PLATE ON THIS FAN. BELIEVE BUT CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT. THIS FAN WAS MADE BETWEEN 1947 AND 1948. BELIEVE THIS FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. THE 1947 VORTALEX MODELS ACQUIRED A. WING NUT TO ADJUST ANGLE AND. THE 1946 TO 1948 MODELS WERE ONLY. OFFERED IN A BROWNISH-BRONZE COLOR. WITH THE BLADES BEING TAN. AS SHOWN THIS FAN HAS A WING NUT AND IS A. BROWNISH-BRONZE COLOR INDICATING THAT. IT WAS LIKELY MADE AFTER 1947. THE 1949 VORTALEX MODELS ACQUIRED RED BADGES. AS SHOWN THIS FAN DOES NOT HAVE A RED BADGE. NOT TOO BAD FOR A 75+ YEAR OLD FAN. WITH SOME CLEANING AND POLISHING. BY IT’S NEW OWNER THIS FAN. SHOULD LOOK VERY NICE. WILL PROBABLY BE A VERY LONG TIME BEFORE. ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS BECOMES AVAILABLE. A WELCOME ADDITION FOR YOUR COLLECTION. 100% AUTHENTIC AND ORIGINAL. NOT A CRUMMY REPRODUCTION.
