Hey Guys!

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer months! I sure I am as it's my time of year!

Do any of you fan collectors have a center medallion (I don't know if this is the proper name for it) for a Montgomery Wards metal oscillating fan for sale?

This is a nice fan that has substantial weight to it, but sadly it's missing it's name. I would love to find one. I guess I am a fan collector besides. However I must control myself as these are similar to vacuums which are similar to rabbits! Get the point?

Any info on this model including year of manufacture, price and the like would be greatly appreciated! Rob H. I know you can shed some light on this one, too!

Thanks!
Louis

Believe it or not, this is a Ward's item that never made it into our home when I was growing up.

 

The emblem will likely be a challenge for you to locate.  Perhaps you can find or make something that will serve as a finishing piece, perhaps resembling the original, in the interim.  I would be as anxious to find or fashion an emblem as well if the fan were mine.

Looks like ....

It should be a simple gold metal cap with no logo.

Very much like what I had in mind for a substitute.

I think it was probably made by Knapp Monarch. I have a little 6" desk fan that's labeled Kwik Kool from Montgomery Ward and it's a Knapp Monarch.

Reminds me of .....

a shallow brass freeze plug. Find one the right diameter, shine it up, coat it with clear and epoxy that sucker in place with a small bracket. Done!

soda cans...

start checking soda/beer cans until you find one with just the right size "punt"on the bottom you can cut out and make into into the cap :)

The subject fan..

...looks like it might be late 40s/early 50s era?

I like the horizontal grille.  To me, it suggests the fan is blowing colder air than it actually is.
