This fan has an all metal cage to protect the blades and the blades are metal. there is a single switch on the top that controls the on/off for the oscillation. The on switch for the fan is on the base. There is a rubber gasket on the base to prevent slipping and vibration. The fan has never needed repair and still functions excellently.
I have a Barbour silver stand and bowl set that I would like to get some detail on, including estimated value. The stand has Barbour Silver Co, Quadruple Plate, 248 engraved in the bottom. The base is approximately 7 ½ inches in diameter at the bottom and 4 ½ inches in diameter at the top where the bowl sets in. It is 3 ½ inches high to the top where the bowl sets, and 6 ½ inches high at the handles.
The bowl is shaped somewhat like an open flower, and two of the “petals” fit between the handles of the stand. It is 12 inches in diameter, and 4 inches high. It is pure white on the underside, and the inside is more of a cream color. There is a rust/red trim around the inside edge that runs from 1 inch to 1 ½ inches in.
The weight of the stand is approximately 1 ½ pounds, and the bowl weighs 1 ¾ pounds.
It could have been a wedding gift in 1921, but may date earlier.
