1908 General Electric Company, U.S.A., 12" Antique Desk Fan
General Electric's early 1908 model desk fan would be the end of the line for a model that could trace its lineage to 1894. The early 1908 model is believed to have only been manufactured for a few months when a new twin bearing design was introduced to replace it. The early 1908 model featured " modern" for the era styling that had eliminated the earlier fluted and half fluted base in favor of a smoother design.
This particular 1908 G.E. desk fan includes all original parts including the often missing 5 speed rotary General Electric switch. This fan runs on all 5 speeds in its present condition. Available from AS/IS Unrestored to our Premium Full Restoration. A restored example of this model is located in our Gallery.
