E has a small, clip-on desk fan, which he has owned since his time in college. It is white plastic, although the plastic is more of a dingy grey now. The protective cover no longer exists, and the blades have been stained in areas by a black permanent marker, a byproduct of a bored moment or two.
E has yet to let it go for sentimental reasons, but if I could convince him to upgrade, I would love for this beauty to serve as a replacement.
I have mentioned my love for industrial-inspired things before, and this vintage fan makes my heart flutter. Oh how I'd love if this resided in our office. Or bedroom. Really, I think I could put it anywhere in our house, and it would make me smile every time I saw it.

this is so gorgeous! summers here are not really hot enough for a fan, what a shame, but still i'd like one one day just for decoration! ;)
hey courtney!
i am so with you on industrial fans, love them xx
I love those old metal fans! Just keep all digits away from the blade :) That's all I ever remember my Mom telling me about our old one growing up!
Ohhh!! What a fantastic fan!! Love it!!
I would be smiling too- this is such a wonderful find! So simple. It's perfect!
love her!!
Oh, so beautiful. I love the shape of the blades and the light rust! Good luck getting him to replace the clip on:)
I just love it how about once a week I wake up to a slew of comments from you and I can just imagine the little flurry of blog commenting activity on your end---it's such a wonderful little treat!
I LOVE these retro fans. My mom has some 'faux retro' ones from restoration hardware and they look pretty cool, but I'm partial to the authenticity of the one you've posted here.
hope the moving/changing/adjusting is going smoothly! have a great weekend!
Awww...I love your upgrade choice - I agree! Thanks for all your lovely comments by the way.
I also love these vingtage fans. I know what you mean about them making you smile. I have a modern retro one and I keep it out all year long.
I have such the classic fan obsession and this one is sending me over the moon!
Definitely in the market for a vintage lovely like this - especially in this heat wave we are having at the moment ... hot dogs all round!
