1950’s Vintage Turquoise Fan

My new thrifty $5 find is this Vintage Dominion Turquoise Fan.
 I have seen this same fan on Etsy for $85 so I feel like I got quite a bargain.
It works perfectly, and has all the quirks of a retro item.
 I am currently using it in my office since it is still in the 90’s here.
 It has the old plug that you are afraid to use thinking it may start a fire, and it has those dangerous blades that can cut your fingers off when turning, it makes a racket when it oscillates, and it’s all part of its charm.
I love my new old fan.

    What a steal! And beautiful to boot.
    I remember have a black one, and a
    gray one in our family home as a kid.
    They were noisey, for sure.

    It’s perfectly charming, Dawn! I remember having those & the constant warning from any adult around to not get too close or you might lose your finger or nose — yeah, no wonder I’m such a “twitchy” person….lol!
