Does anyone recognize this fan?  It came without a cage or any other identifiers. I'd appreciate any photos of the cage or catalog images.

The motor and blades looks like a Star Rite.

I'm unsure if that base you have is original to the fan though. That's my guess.

Thanks.  Another oddity I forgot to mention is that the front half of the motor casing appears to have been painted a pale mint green originally.

Yeah, a light minty green was indeed a Star Rite color and the motor case & blades look Star Rite-ish too.  Those fans were manufactured by Fitzgerald in Torrington, CT. I agree with Alex on the base - never seen one like that on any fan.  It looks more like an old lamp base.
