This wonderful Verity Orbit oscillating fan appears all original and untouched. It has 12" brass blades. Total height is about 20" and spans around 14" around. It is fully working and oscillates/rotates in a circular motion/pattern (hence the name "Orbit"). It runs and oscillates very smoothly on all 3 speeds. The brass blades are straight and without bend or wrinkle and guard is undamaged and without repair. It was made in Birmingham England around 1920s (note earlier pie slice shaped... blades vs later round tipped ones). Well made and dependable. Very sought after by fan collectors around the world. I have seen several of these fans and many have shakey/jumpy movements and hesitant oscillation. This one is smooth! If you only buy one good vintage fan, make it this one.
I will be happy to ship anywhere worldwide. Buyer to pay actual shipping with insurance, no more and no less. I am quite familiar with old and rare fans and will pack professionally. I can remove the guard and blade and pack well with plenty of cushioning and protection, for these parts as well as the delicate cast mechanism that rotates the fan. You can be assured the fan will arrive in good condition.
NOTE: Fan is for sale elsewhere and this auction may end early. I am open to reasonable offers....but don't be silly: this is a great rare fan. Sale price is in British sterling and the pound is really low on the international market, so take advantage and get an amazing fan for a low price before the market recovers.
Compare this fan with one that is currently listed on ebay # 292464509207 which started out at $3300 and is starting at just under $2000. The condition is very poor and "speeds don't work". Don't miss out on this fan, you may never see another in such outstanding condition
