Tristan Crider Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 Hello, I know nothing about floor fans but thought this one looked cool at a local auction. I've been outbid at 20$. Does anyone know the year this was made? I can't seem to find any good info on it on this forum or the old. Thanks! Quote
Stan Adams Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 Floor fans or Hassock fans were popular in the 50s & early 60s. Quote
Steven P Dempsey Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 no high values, I like them AKA "Hassock" fans I have 4, an R&M, 2 Emersons (1962-1952) and a DIehl Wood model 2 Quote
Tom Zapf Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 TRISTAN I WOULD SAY YOURS WAS FROM THE 1950'S. THEY STILL MAKE AN AIR KING VERSION WHICH OVER THE YEARS WAS SOLD AS A FRESHNDAIRE, THEN SEARS/KENMORE TOASTMASTER, LASKO AND AIR KING TO NAME A FEW. THEY ARE STILL USED IN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS. I HAVE HAD A BUNCH OVER THE YEARS, THEY TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE IN STORAGE. I LIKE HAVING ONE NEXT TO THE SOFA AS THEY ARE QUIET RUNNING. A "SMALL " 10" VERSION IS NICE IN THE KNEEHOLE UNDER A DESK SO YOU ARE COLLED WHEN YOU SIT BUT NOTHING ON THE DESK IS DISTURBED Quote
