GE AOU AK1... Brass Blade?

Recommended Posts

Howdy folks.  I am currently restoring a GE AOU AK1.  Does anyone know if this particular run of AOUs ever came with brass blades?  Perhaps the early models for that form?  Trying to figure out if these blades are original or not.  Research on the forums and consultation with a few members has told me that the blades for the AK1 were aluminum. 

This is more out of curiosity than anything else--either way, I'll be using the brass blades as part of the finished product.  Thanks!

1930 GE Form AK came with painted aluminum blade.   This fan is all original down to the power cord and plug and felt, etc.
