Great condition vintage 1950 GE fan. Works perfect, very good overall condition. Just a little "patina" (rust) visible on the base and the arm. I'm pretty sure a good elbow grease scrubbing will get it off. I don't know why I like these things so much, but I just can't help but buy these good antique/vintage fans every time I come across them.
