Eskimo Electric Fan — Model 101091, Acme Appliance Co. (Vintage & Found)
Vintage & Found · The Foundry
Still moves air. Still looks good doing it.
A vintage Eskimo electric desk fan, Model 101091, manufactured by Acme Appliance Company. 115V, 60 cycle. Four steel blades behind a wire cage guard. The center hub badge is intact and legible. The patina on the blades and cage is honest — this is a working object that has been used, not a prop. The kind of fan that sat on a factory foreman’s desk or a corner office in a building that doesn’t exist anymore.
Eskimo fans were made in the mid-20th century and are collected for their industrial design and durability. This example is in good vintage condition — structurally sound, badge intact, blades present. Sold as-is; electrical function not tested or guaranteed.
