Offline So I ran into -literally this old GE fan at a garage sale. Thought it was kinda interesting (this is my first old fan). Anyway I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some history of this particular fan. It looks like it has 3 speeds and may oscillate.

Like many of us here, I have a thing for old mechanical devices. I was wandering the aisles of a local antique (aka junk) store.
Antique Ge Fan Serial Numbers
I found these in a dark corner. This is a brass desk fan. Based on the model number, cage design and base design, it was built between 1903 and 1907.
It's a three speed non-oscillating fan. The thing is a pig! It weighs in at 23#. Other than a replacement cord, it's all original and works perfectly. And this is a mid 1930's to early 1940's GE Vortalex oscillating pedestal fan.
Not quite as rare as the desk fan but still a great example of the early 'quiet fans'. Perfect operating condition with the exception of the 'doohickey' that keeps the oscillating from going 360.
Any other fan fans out there? Show us what you have.

Being from St Louis, I prefer Emerson's. Not mine, net-pic. Does not matter what you are into, there's a club for it. I stumbled on this one looking for a source for cloth-wrapped wire to replace an old power cord. 'What kind of club is that?' It's a fan club.
'So who's fan club is it?' I don't know who's club it is.
I'm sure it is run by someone. 'I wasn't asking who runs the club, I just wanted to know who you were a fan of.' It's not a Who, it's a What.
For example; I like Emerson. 'So it's the Emerson Fan Club?' No, we like all fans, not just Emerson. 'It's a club, for fans of fans?' 'So you're fans of people who belong to fan clubs??'
No, we ARE a fan club.
