    Still yet another Al Bersted fan which means this is dime store fan. You wouldn't find these at Macy's. This rather large for a Bersted/Eskimo with blades 12" across. Most of their fans one runs across are the 8" fans. This one has the distinctive flower fan cage pattern. After this they went to concentric circles.
    This is a crossover of earlier fans and 1950s fans. It has a cast iron base of the older fans and the pressed steel motor housing of the fans of the 1950s.
    Another interesting feature is the nifty seafoam green paint. Goes well with my bread box. It is not a color I have seen on other fans.
