Probus (french) 6" Fan
Circa 1917
Another example showing how well people took care of their fans in Europe.  I am still surprised how many are found in near prefect condition after 80-100 years.  The name Brise d'Eté  translates to ‘Summer Breeze”.  I really like the detail and scale of this fan and its parts.  The grease cup is so tiny it makes me feel like Andre The Giant.  I also really like the color combo and also the placement of the brush setup.  Great quality for such a small fan.  By the way, even the cord and wooden plug are original to this fan.
