Tale of 2 Fresh’ND aire fans

[Michael Bouthiller]

How I got them was I got my 17 inch first and then I got my 14 inch so I was in Waterford CT and I spotted a 2 bladed fan on the top shelf and it said Fresh’ND aire and my birthday was coming so I told my dad to buy it for my birthday and I got it for my 13th birthday so that’s the 17 now on to the 14 I I was in school one day and a teacher told me she had a old fan her husband was going to put it in the trash and she showed me a picture and it was another Freshy so I will gladly take it and a couple days later Mrs Catina arrived with the fan and it was a Freshy 14 so I got 2 Freshys in 1 month of each other

No the 14 needed a cord and both needed oil

Good job 👍

The chrome is in good shape also

And the 17 inch had the original cord and the 14 has a replacement lamp cord

Update I’ve managed to find the original hang tag that was on my 17 inch when I bought it more than 4 years ago

Wonderful find and nice story, sometimes fate plays out that way. The condition looks to be in fine shape, chrome looks good too!
