Nice Westinghouse you have. This particular oscillating model is known as the LovelyAire and was made beginning in 1950 through 1955-56. There should be a label with the model number and other identifying information.. if the model number begins with 10LA it is an earlier model, if it begins with 12LA then it is circa 1955ish.
Thanks for the info, mine is a 10LA so its an earlier model. Its not LovelyAire its LivelyAire.
