12-INCH *VERY NICE* GE HALO 6BB/BC OSCILLATOR FAN - TYPE A FORM R4 (ca. 1915)

Description

My dad, J. Loyd Davis, was an avid antique electric fan collector until his passing in 2011. At the end of 2019 I auctioned off a large portion of his 30-year fan collection on eBay. At that time, I personally packed and shipped 135+ fans worldwide. I have also been a long time buyer/seller on eBay, and have a 100% feedback rating. The 135+ fans that I auctioned and sold in 2019 were ONLY A PORTION of my dad's antique electric fan collection. THERE ARE MANY HIGH QUALITY FANS LEFT IN THE COLLECTION & I WILL BE AUCTIONING A VERY LARGE PORTION OF THE REMAINING COLLECTION ON EBAY AT THIS TIME. The plan is to list 5-7 fans every week for sale. Winning bidders within the continental U.S. will be responsible for the shipping cost which will be sent via FedEx Ground.
If the total cost of the purchase exceeds 0, there will be a signature required as per FedEx regulations.
WINNING BIDDERS FROM OUTSIDE THE CONTINENTAL U.S. WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 100% OF THE SHIPPING & INSURANCE CHARGES. EVERY ITEM SOLD WILL BE INSURED FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE. INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS THAT EXCEED ,500 IN VALUE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM AND WILL BE DELIVERED VIA FEDEX INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY. INTERNATIONAL WINNERS OF ITEMS THAT EXCEED ,500 IN VALUE WILL RECEIVE AN INVOICE FROM ME WITH THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT INCLUDES SHIPPING AND INSURANCE COSTS. ALL DUTIES, TAXES, AND ANY OTHER FEES WILL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUYER. I hope that everyone can get a fan that they will enjoy as much as my dad did!
YOU ARE BIDDING
on a 12-inch GE (General Electric) Type A, Form R4, Cat #75423 antique electric fan (ca. 1915). This fan features a halo mount, 6 brass blades, a brass cage, an external lever oscillator, and 3 brass star knobs. It is in VERY NICE original condition and runs great and oscillates on all 3 speeds with a slight cage rattle. Two of the blades have a wrinkle by their rivets.
See video & photos.
This auction is for 1 fan only. The last photo in this listing is a picture of approximately 100 fans that I will be selling in the coming weeks/months. The 2nd to last photo is meant to honor my dad as it shows him enjoying a handful of his antique fans. I describe each fan to the best of my ability. However, I am NOT A FAN EXPERT, nor am I an electrician. It is possible that parts (cages, blades, etc.) may not be those that were originally on the fan when it was manufactured. However, I have researched most of these fans using the AFCA website and other well respected websites and will disclose any information I have learned in my research about each fan. The fans that I'm listing are ANTIQUES that range in age from 70-130 years old. It's reasonable to assume that cords, plugs, etc. might not be perfect on every fan that I list, and that some might even need to be replaced. Use the zoom option to examine my detailed photos and make your own determination regarding condition. When I identify a fan size (8", 9", 10", 12", etc.) in my listings, this is based on the measurement across the blades, from tip of the blade to tip of the blade. I test the blades & cage of each fan that I list with a magnet. If the magnet DOESN'T STICK to the blades or cage, then I believe these are brass. If the magnet DOES STICK to the blades or cage, then I assume these are steel. If you have any specific questions about this fan that I haven't covered in this listing or are not clear in the photos, please feel free to ask, and I will do my best to answer them. I NEVER end auctions early. This gives everyone the same opportunity to purchase the item listed. Winning bidder to pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. I will carefully pack & ship each fan. Most fans will require partial disassembly prior to shipping to prevent damage. Your eBay feedback is appreciated, and I'm always glad to reciprocate.
THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!
