---

I would first like to apologize for withdrawing this fan from the sale today (February, 21st). The reason for doing this was that I realized that some of the pictures could lead to believe that there was a stick missing, when it is not so, as it can be seen in this picture:

Once again, I am sorry about the inconveniences this may have caused you
