Victor, I think that model and cage/badge is from around 1947. Any confirmation from SERIOUS Westinghouse collectors. Or even non-serious other fan collectors?

I have a Grainger's catalog from spring of 54.



I think in 55 they came out with this.It has the center ring from the 40s,but it has a chrome cage and new mauve color.I'm not 100% sure but the John Witt book has one.

Thank you Logan!

 I think I am going to make a new badge similar to the ones in your fans.

 When I found the fan, it was covered with to different paints over the original "pink varnish".

Unfortunately the varnish was very opaque and deteriorated, so I removed it all and polish the Stainless Steel Cast by hand (I suppose that it is Stainless steel…)

I am not sure if the cage was originally chrome, because I found it very rusty, but it have a metallic finish (It could also have been originally with a nickel or zinc finish to prevent the apparition of rust)

I also performed a complete overhaul to the electric motor.

Regards!

Victor
