The GE model F11A103 was made by General Electric from 1951-1959. It is called a personal fan although with a 10" blade it is a bit large for that. This one is a bit unusual as the cage is attached to the base instead of the motor. This fan is a single speed fan. Originally there was an on/off switch on the cord but it apparently wore out long ago and was replaced by a rather unattractive heavy duty yellow cord. Should be an easy fix to add a switch and a less obtrusive cord.
GE fans along with Westinghouse were top of the line and were sold at high end department stores like Macys.
Great looking fan Fort :)
Love these old, metal fans. Always reminds me of old, black & white WWII movies....... somewhere on a South Pacific island, a lieutenant naval officer in sweat-stained khakis typing a report on a Remington manual typewriter, an olive green GE desktop fan quietly humming....... [;>)
Thank you very much Caperkid.
