A 8" fan and I am thinking it late 1940s. It has a cast iron base like a 1930s fan and cage design like a 1950s fan. The motor housing is pressed steel. This is another of the dime store/drug store fans. Also although I am not sure this may be a Bersted item. There is a serial number on the underside of the base but not city of manufacture listed.
I am now thinking this is late 1930s or 40s due to the pan style motor housing.
BEEFY!! Love it!

Once more thank you again catteann.
I have a 16 inch like that and it is an Bersted from the late 1930s.
Thank you very much wiskeylizard. I will have to amend the description to 1930s. Apparently this is from the United Drug Company which became Rexall. But they just sold them. Had a feeling the hand of Al Berstad was behind this.
Does yours oscillate? This one is only an 8" fan.
No is doesn't, its a stationary model.
Thank you Nicefice.
