This fan is from an estate sale. It is not very big. When the fan is siting straight up, as in the first photo, it is 11" from the base to the top of the cage. the cage is a little under 9" in diameter, and the fan is 8" from the tip of one blade to the tip of the opposite blade.

It runs great, probably could use a good oiling. I don't know how long it was sitting in the barn at the estate sale. It's original color was a pale teal. It is still that color, but now there is some rust spots, and a few scratches, so it could use some paint and/or cleaning. I can't find a manufacturer's name on it anywhere. There is the remnants of a black and gold oval sticker on the inside of the base, and the numbers 5159 or 5153 (I can't read the last number). It weighs almost 4 pounds because of the heavy base. It doesn't oscillate. The photos turned out looking almost black and white. They didn't look that way before I posted them here. The color of the fan is a light teal, or greenish blue. I don't know how
