General Electric (GE) oscillating desk fan is constructed primarily of cast and formed metal, with a substantial cast-iron base providing stability and support for the motor housing. The dark-finished motor casing encloses the electric motor and is connected to a rotating shaft that drives a four-blade brass propeller. The brass blades are secured to the central hub, which bears the embossed GE monogram. The blades exhibit a naturally patinated surface consistent with age.
