·         The Fitzgerald Co. came out with this fan in the late 1940’s.  The look was very futuristic, and makes me think of toy Ray Guns and  Buck Rogers.  The 8” size not easy to come by especially in decent original condition.  I was lucky to find this one in 2008 for a really great price but best of all the condition is excellent.  If you look at the 10” version you will notice they used the same base and motor and just put a smaller blade and cage.  Makes the smaller model appear as an afterthought.
