Pedro Lima Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'm trying to find more about this nicely designed fan. The information on the base is almost none though a very destroyed original sticker is definitely in German and someone wrote "Eltros" in pencil. I bought it in Munich. The body is in enamel and the blades are in rubber. Using google lens you can find online somewhat contradicting info - the brand seems to be VEM or VEB WTB from Dresden or Berlin, the model seems to be Eltros and it's possibly from the 50s, though I'd bet, for the design, that it's earlier, from the 30s. Can any of the members help, please? Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Koh Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Forigen fans are not an area of experties for me. Anything signifigant like ad papers or catalogs I couldn't find. However I was able to find some photos of the info sticker of your fan, along with a different model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Lima Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Dear Alex, thank you for your help - it was great because it allowed me to clearly identify the fan (except for the model, since the blades on mine are different, but the base is exactly the same, so the manufacturer is definitely the same). One wonderful detail about this fan - after opening it, I realised that it was actually not metal+enamel but porcelain! Fantastic. Again, thank you for your kind help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
