Levi Mevis Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 There's an antique mall near me that has a 9" 2 speed Vortalex that is from about 1950 or so (its in the "seafoam green" color) that they want $75 for and it looks like its all original, its the 3 wing version (they had a 3 wing and 4 wing version of which the 3 wing version is the least common of the two.)

Got a picture my interest level just went up! Quote
Lawrence Smith Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 3 wing versions are 10” & 9” , never seen a 2 speed 9” fan . Those are the 10” units . They made a 3 wing & 4 wing 12” version in the first series, black & aluminum style. The 3 wing was in the late 30’s then came the 4 winger . ( probably due to the 3 wing blade cracking ) Quote

( probably due to the 3 wing blade cracking ) I can never tell the difference between a 9" and 10" fan (and at that a 8" or 9" fan) they all look very similar to each other size wise. 1 Quote

Lawrence Smith Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Levi do a google search to see the difference in the fans. This site is not very user friendly in searching info. There is a list somewhere that breaks down the quiet blade & vortalex fan. It used to be on d t vintage fans . Not sure where it disappeared too Quote
