This is a very large window fan that has metal slide adjustments on each side.  It has intake and exhaust, hi/lo buttons for each mode. 
It has 5 blades.   It is too large to ship anywhere, so must be a local pickup in the Baltimore, MD area.  I am asking $65.00 for this fan.  It works fine.  If interested in seeing the fan, please contact me @ 443-744-7370.  thank you.

Is the model number 25E1, 25E2, or 35E1?
The label should be in the housing on the side, behind one of the extensions

I couldn't find a label.  but, I looked at your posted photos and it looks just like the E1.  albeight, grey in color with a gray grate on the front, whereas the photo you have posted looks more whitish with a black grate.  The buttons on the lower left side are in a gray plate and the buttons are white.  Yours has a black plate with white buttons.  I tried to get my child to take a photo and his phone is dead.  I tried to slide open the extensions and look for a label.  The top screws turned fine, the bottom screws are too old and as I try to turn them, the flat head slot is not strong enough any longer and is getting messed up, so I stopped so as not to cause any damage.

Your fan sounds like it is a Vornado M25E1-1 in the mist grey color. Is the blade 18" in diameter? Pictures would be appreciated. You definitely wouldn't ship if the buyer were to pay for shipping?

Can you tell me how to measure the blade?  from tip of one blade to tip of the other?  Yes, I would ship.  I don't know how..but, I'd figure it out.  It is HEAVY.

I am definitely interested, the blade is measured by the diameter of it so if it is around 17" to 19" then it is an 18" blade, it is tough to measure a 5 wing blade.

from the back, I measured the length of a single blade.  Each individual blade is 9" long.  I also spoke with mom.  She works for a company that does a significant amount of shipping.  If you are really interested, she will check with the warehouse and see if they can do something about shipping it on one of their trucks.  Are you associated with any business that shipping could be business to business?  I truly am trying to get a darn picture of it.

No I am not associated with any business unfortunately. Please let me know I am definitely interested. I am big on these E series window fans made by Vornado. I have a few myself.

for history: this fan has been in my family's possession for about 38 years.  It was given to my dad from a dear friend, who had purchased it brand new, in exchange for work he had done for her.  She passed 3 yrs back at the age of 78.   I don't know how long she owned it.   It was used regularly at my brothers home until last year when he passed.  Now, I have it.  Of course, it sounds like a jet engine!!  I would use it, but it doesn't fit my newer windows.

They are great fans and I would love to own another one. I have a 25E that I use daily in my window, just got done rewiring it maybe a month ago and it purrs like a kitten.
