Picked this a few days ago, and it runs like a top. Model X-496, "Rexall Drug Co Distributor". Needs cleaned up, and I'll get around to that. This one just needs a little polish on the cage and the blades and it will shine like a dream. It's in excellent condition. This model was specifically made as a drug store fan in the early '50s as far as I can tell, and it seems that most of these fans were mounted on a wall.
Nice !! Beautiful shape ! A little elbow grease and she'll look like new.Great pick ay !
Thanks for the love Hedge!! My wife actually found it and wanted it, so we had to have it! Looking forward to cleaning it up real nice.
Can't wait to see her all cleaned up ay !
Evidently this is a 1947 model. http://www.fancollectors.org/Drugstor/drugstor.htm
Hey what a great project ay! Looks like it would be fun to clean up and what a great size too.
How would you clean a fan like this? I found this same one in the house we just bought and it still works! Just extremely dusty and some rust.
