Vintage Zephyr Floor Fan Streamline Moderne Cast Aluminum Blades 1935 R. Budlong
This is the iconic fan designed in the early 1930s by Robert D. Budlong for the Edgar T. The fan blades are cast aluminum in a unique and classic period design with a very cool wire cage. The motor is no longer working and the base has suffered from surface rust but as it is heavy cast iron, it is a good candidate for restoration. I have used it just as an ornamental piece over the years as a stunning machine age sculpture and hoped one day to have it rewired and restored but it is one more thing I will not get to. It stands over 6′ tall and can be adjusted even higher or possibly cut down if necessary. The mounting tube telescopes inside the base tube and the chromed flange covers the end. The fan cage is 30″ in diameter and the base is 22″ across. Please contact me also as I might be able to deliver as far as New York.
