ANTIQUE GILBERT 1930\'s ELECTRIC 10\" OSCILLATING DESK FANREAD ENTIRE DESCRIPTION!few people even realize that a.c. gilbert electric, famed makers of \"american flyer\" toy trains & \"the erector set\" also produced electric fans, in fact, their main business was fractional horsepower electric motors. they produced electric fans under the names gilbert, icy, busy b, trailblazer, koldair, & polar cub, with production starting before 1920. from the 30\'s through the 50\'s they were the largest employer in new haven, conneticut producing fans under the polar cub name until going out of business in 1967 (6 years after the death of founder, alfred carlton gilbert). in an era before air conditioning existed, electric fans were of great importance. this is a perfect example under the trailblazer name & with it\'s 10\" blade size, it\'s big enough to do the job yet, not obtrusively large. i have restored MANY fans and this is one of the hardest to find of them all. this one qualifies for extremely hard to find.this fan has been completely disassembled. the stand, blade guard, motor housings, & head platform have been blasted & powder coated, not painted (a process baked on at 500 degrees that is 10 times harder & more durable than paint) in gloss black. the motor was cleaned & all electrical components were tested with an ohms meter & inspected to assure safety & proper operation. for safe, everyday use the original cord was replaced with a new thermo-insulated cord & a new \"retro\" style plug was installed. the cloth wrapped head wires (with thermo insulation under the cloth) & seven rubber grommets are all brand new. all remaining components were thoroughly cleaned & polished including hand compounding the blades to their original luster. the fan was then reassembled, properly lubricated (light sewing machine oil)& test run & oscillated for a minimum of two hours to check for perfect operation. this fan is a preserved piece of machine age american history that will most likely outlive the user.most professional fan restorers will charge $300 to $500 to restore YOUR antique fan (not sell you a restored fan) & then they will use paint instead of powder coating (knock over a painted fan & see what happens). please look at my \"response as a seller\" column at the comments i have received on the 25 plus restored antique fans i have sold on .THIS IS ABUY IT NOW, NOT AN sale. PUTTING IT ON YOUR WATCH LIST WILL NOT DOANYTHINGFOR YOU WHATSOEVER. IF YOU FEEL COMPELLED TO DO SO PLEASE, PRINT OUT A COPY OF THE PICTURE, HANG IT ON YOUR WALL, & THENMOVE ONBECAUSE THIS PRICE IS A BARGAIN FOR A PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED ANTIQUE FAN & THE POST OFFICE WON\'T HAVE A RATE DECREASE UNTIL AT LEAST JANUARY 2018.DON\'T FORGET, /PAYPAL KEEP 14% OF THE SHIPPING CHARGES FOR THEIR CUT & USPS HAD A 15.7% RATE INCREASE ON PARCELS IN 2016
