Vic Valencheck Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 This little dime store fan looked interesting to me. I bid on it on Ebay and got it for $18. First time I've seen this fan. It's a one speed 110vac motor, cast iron base, SB/SC. Looks to be from the 1930's. The fan does run. The only thing I found wrong with it is that the plug was bad. The interesting part was the shape of the blade and that it was either made in Cleveland, Ohio or distributed there. Does anyone have any information on it? Also is there anyone that can make me a new decal for the blade? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kearns Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Seems to be a 1937 production year only, nothing before or after showing this model: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing searches on Joesph Munasco the inventor but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I did have one of those years ago. I think Star-Rite had a base like that on a green cast iron base model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
