Their early brass ones had a really cool badge. Not sure when they stopped making fans, but I had one that was from the 30s at the earliest.

National stamping absorbed Lindstrom in 21. I have a National Stamping White Cross hair dryer and Breezer fan.

Damn lucky you have both your brush caps. I have seen collectors use tire valve caps in place of them. 🙂

Sorry, my National Stamping Breezer is disassembled in a box, imagine that. Hair dryer works like downtown. 🙂

I see National Stamping "White Cross" fans on the market in 22 one year after they absorbed Lindstrom-Smith. Strange though so far, I have failed to find an image of one in electrical trade 22+.
