You see, my dad used to work for the Department of Sanitation in NYC. He retired over 10 years ago before I had any interest in such things, but he was always bringing home all kinds of stuff. A few weeks ago, I was looking at an old pedestal sink with original fixtures. He mentioned that he'd thrown away TONS of sinks just like it.
Back to the fan ... My dad has a habit of rigging up frightening wiring on things he finds. This fan was no exception. He had cut off the original plug and put on another plug with the wires completely exposed and was using it that way. I took it but he removed his "repair". I'm going to take it apart and see if I can properly replace the plug.
Too cute! I love that!
ReplyDeleteDontcha just love old fans? I found one in May, in aqua color! I think yours is SO pretty!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the fan. It is so pretty. I have one that I have had for years with the original plug and it works like a charm. I know you will enjoy yours. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLove those old fans ...I used to cover the blades with fabric to match the room it was in...come to think of it, I've sold a lot of those too.. Ha! I really love your new cloches!! xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
ReplyDeleteI have a few of the fans and love the old look. Some of them do work, make sure Wild Girl and Happy Girl doesn't try to put their fingers near the blades if it is running. The blades are like knives when they are running. Have a nice week. Sandi
ReplyDeleteVery nice! One of the nicer ones I've seen!
