Now is your chance
to own an original
1924, General
Electric, authentic
"GE WHIZ", brass
blade, oscillating,
electric fan.
This GE electric fan
has been completely
restored and is
ready for another 80
plus
years of service.
If SPECIAL and
CONFIDENCE are what
you are looking for
in an antique
electric fan
restoration, then
this is it.
This fan features
the smaller 4"
blades, with a tip
to tip span of 9".
Cage is 10" in
diameter and overall
height is 13" |
|
They truly don't
build them like this
anymore. This
"MADE IN THE U.S.A."
GE electric fan is a
working piece of
American history
right out of the
industrial
revolution.
The "GE WHIZ"
electric fan was
manufactured circa
1924, for
residential use.
This one has stood
the test of time and
is in remarkable
working condition.
It is a smooth,
single speed motor
with a very
comfortable RPM and
very nice air flow.

The four solid
brass blades
have been
machine buffed,
polished, and
clear coated for
preservation.
They have also
been stroboscope
aligned and
dynamically
balanced to
provide very
smooth
operation.
Beautiful solid
brass "GE WHIZ"
cage badge has
also been
machine buffed,
polished, and
clear coated for
preservation.
Cage badge
background has
been filled in
with matching
green paint.
SPECIAL NOTE:
To properly
treat and
prevent
reoccurrence of
corrosion
between the
brass blades and
brass hub, they
are disassembled
and processed
separately.
After
refinishing,
they are
reassembled
using special
solid brass
rivets and
special tooling.
They are now
just like they
came from the
factory.

The motor
cord and the
line cord are
green,
cloth covered,
twisted wire
made especially
for antique
restorations.
It is the best
available.
The plug is a
vintage plug
of that era and
was commonly
found on these
fans. It
too has been
restored
and is just like new.
All electrical
work performed
on this fan is
done so with an
extensive
electrical
background and a
full
understanding of
the correct
procedures
necessary for a
safe and
properly
operating
electrical
device. |
|
This fan has been
refinished in a very
dark, machine green
that was computer matched to
its original paint.
Refinishing
involved
complete
disassembly,
stripping to
bare metal,
bead
blasting,
surface
treatment,
and then
coating.
The gun
applied
finish is
the same
weather
proof finish
used on
automobiles.
It consists
of an epoxy
sealer/primer,
2 coats of
color base,
and finally
2 coats of
catalyst
activated
clear coat. And
it is
stunning.
You see my
fans from
every angle
and they
look
brilliant in
the images
because they
are
brilliant. |
