OT I know but you folks know it all about old stuff.

In the process of cleaning out the barn/shop for the remodel, ran across an old fan I had forgotten I had. Cleaned it up some, put a cord on it and very carefully plugged it in. It works!! Tried to Goggle it but didn't do much good. Anyone know anything about them, what it maybe worth? Etc Etc? Can't find a date anywhere on it. Paint is still pretty good on it, thinking about putting a line switch on it and bringing it in to stir some air. Would have to find a place the house cats would not get into it,, not much of a cage around it. This was before OSHA I am sure. :-)

Victor Airplane
(trade mark)Shows airplane type propeller . The Cincinnati Victor Company
Type 110 volts 50-60 Cycles
Alternating current
Cincinnati Ohio USA

Cage is 13 1/4 across
Blade is 4 blade and 12 in across


Also found a smaller fan, Silex Handy Breeze, did bring it in just for heck of it.

Hey you know what else those people made?
Did you ever see one of the portable electric heaters that was a copper disk, on a stand, with a ceramic cylinder in the center that had the radiant wire spiraled around it?
Man that do bring back memories.

Check this out!
Funeral Home Fan The Cincinnati Victor company produced what they referred to as a parlor fan. For whatever reason, nearly every one seems to come out of a funeral home. It was a pedestal fan, on a pipe. It originally had a pink tinted light bulb on each side, and a fan in the center. It has always been said that these were made to be sold to funeral parlors. The fan was to go at the head of the casket. The breeze would keep the flies away, and the bulbs would give the corpse a skin tone. I used google and did Cinc Victor, and Fan got boo qoo hits

I imagine you're talking about one of the table top fans, or it could even be a floor model, that oscillates. I have one or two of those. Depending on condition they range from $30.00 to $100.00 at antique dealers. Brass blades and fancy trim bring more than steel or aluminum. If it works you should just use it.

Most house fans I have seen in old houses are mounted in the ceiling in a hallway. It draws air in and pushes it out the attic. This way, it cools the house and the attic, and has baffles on it that close when the fan is not operating to block the attic heat. No cage needed in this scenario.

Good luck,
Dan
