Identification Help Needed

[Jamie Horner]

Anyone venture a guess as to the brand/manufacturer on this? I can't find any label or markings anywhere. I'm guessing a Zero or an Eskimo because of the thin blades, and the round spot where I assume the badge used to be, but I have no idea. The paint looks original if that helps.

Looks more like an Atlas Aire than Bersted

[Jamie Horner]

I was wondering that as well, but the chrome handle was throwing me off. All the Atlas Aires I have seen have had wider black handles.

That doesn’t look like an Atlas Aire. Their box fans typically were in a hammer green paint except for their mid later 50s window fans. I think I’ve seen something similar to that but under the Emerson name.

Here is my little PB-10 model.

I like that Atlas Aire better. 😂

[Juan Varleta]

Looks like it could be a baby Arvin to me.

[Kyle Shelstad]

The back of the fan reminds me of those round 50's Lasko's

[Tom Zapf]

I AM AGREEING WITH JUAN ON THIS ONE, THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING MAYBE FROM THE ARVIN FAMILY OR A REBADGE. AS TO ATLAS AIRE I DONT THINK SO AND BERSTED ALWAYS USED THE SIMILAR NON OVERLAPPING BLADES IN 8 10 12 SIZES. HMMMMMM I SWEAR I HAVE SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS A HEATER FAN BEFORE..MAYBE A REBADGE KENMORE ? 

[Jamie Horner]

Thanks everybody!
Whatever it is, it runs way too fast. 😂  It probably won't get much use around my place.

I vote lasko. The back looks very similar to the laskos that Kyle is referring to. I found another one on ebay but it too did not have a brand on it.

[Tom Zapf]

I AM NOT SURE ...LASKO HAD A SIMILAR STYLE OF MOTOR MOUNTING ON THEIR 8" WINDOWLATOR WINDOW FANS OR THE LITTLE FLOOR FAN. THIS STYLE OF BLADE AND HOUSING THOUGH LOOKS MORE ARVIN-ISH AND THEY MARKETED HEATERS. I DONT REMEMBER LASKO HEATERS , **BUT** REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE COMPANY WAS "LASKO METAL PRODUCTS" . SO MAYBE THEY STAMPED OUT HOUSINGS FOR ANOTHER COMPANY ...THE BLADE ON THE HEATER IS DEFINITELY NOT THE LASKO 8"

THAT BOND FAN IS A REBADGED LASKO ... LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR YES?

Frost air?

THE CARTON SHOULD HAVE A MANUFACTURERS NAME ON IT SOMEWHERE BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS HINTS OF A LASKO METAL PRODUCTS LINEAGE ON IT TO ME 

I WOULD NOT MIND HAVING THIS FAN!

I wouldn’t know since this is not my fan. The photos I found are at the moment the closest thing to the fan in question, though I have yet to see a “Lasko” version which makes me think it wasn’t.

I don’t doubt the claims of it being made by Lasko but without documentation there’s really no way of knowing.

Gotta love all the cardboard shims in that thing.  Must have been a rattletrap.

[Jamie Horner]

The one I have is definitely part of the other picture posted. And it runs very fast. 🤪
