Does it run Russ?

[Stan Adams]

With that base, I think late 40s before the merger. The next style used the Hunter base.

[Michael Bouthiller]

It could be maybe 46/48

I have one of those, missing the original blade and back cap. Jay has a nice one that he shined up. I would have guessed early to mid 1940’s…maybe Stan is correct on the late part. Is this for sale?

I have a couple of those "portable home coolers," including one with wood blades and a snap switch. Supposedly they were the first "box fan."
