Is this little Westinghouse correct or frankenfan?

These are the only pictures available.  I’m questioning the single piece stamped blade for one thing.  Couldn’t find a similar one in the gallery.  Thanks for any info.

I just passed on the oscillating 8"  model on ePay as a 'bargain' BIN of $25 + about the same shipping this morning. You can look at it for a comparison. . Only because the bottom paper label's intact, really too new for my collecting.... I looked back, someone snagged it. It has this cage/blade, but obviously a different motor. However, from what little I've seen in these, there is a lot of variation among the models.

Westinghouse 8" Whirlwind fan introduced to the market 1917 with either an AC or DC option. Its last season on the market was 1923.

The new Westinghouse 8" Whirlwind fan with universal AC-DC motor for either current introduced to the market 1924.  I still see it offered in electrical trade in 28.

Below is its predecessor on the market 1917-1923 offered in either alternating or direct current.

Thanks Russ.  I didn’t think about it being a newer Whirlwind version.  I have one that is 27-32 volts DC.  I might as well get this one to go with it.  👍

I had 2 of them at one time, both went bye bye before I could break one down. Cool radial commutator like some of the 19th century fans used. The images are from past post on the old website.
