    I have truly tried to find information on this old fan. I think it is from the 30s or 40s. Is there anyone who might be familiar?

      Can you read any of the info on the plate under the switch.
      Is there a patent no.?

      Looks like a Kisco (Company, Inc., St Louis, MO) but I can't find an image to match the high size - only "hassock fans" -

      walksoftly - thats what I was looking at - it looks like the end under the knob that I can read is 'Louis, MO' and below that 'Made in U.S.A.' which matches the Kisco plate.

      That's definitely the same name plate, knob & placement.
      Only difference is the model #

      Agh & walksoftly, you can answer any question! I am amazed! I do need to
      clean this up - when it warms up! Ha! I love this old fan and need to make it useful again - the last time I tried it still worked. Thanks so much!!!!

      Agh did all the heavy lifting on this one.
      It should look great all cleaned up!

      Be careful when you plug in ANY old electrical appliance. One loose wire and you'll get a scary new hairdo :)

      I think a new cord is a must, looks like someone patched on an old lamp cord.

      Agh and walksoftly, I must choose safety since my hair already looks scary!!
