1940s Manning Bowman Metal Fan - Working Electric Table Fan with Metal Blades

A rare find indeed! This electric table fan is from the late 1940s to early 1950s and it still works, with GUSTO! All original parts.

This fan has a heavy, cast iron base and metal cage. This is a great tabletop accessory as is or a restoration project for those who prefer a less rustic look. Important note: this fan is not up to current safety standards. We are selling it as a decor piece. If you choose to use it, please be very careful with spinning metal blades. DO NOT USE AROUND CHILDREN.
