Antique Ge Fan Identification



The first electric fan was designed in 1882 by Schuyler Skaats Wheeler, the American son of Dutch immigrants. Inspired by the experimental work of luminaries like Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, Wheeler attached a two-blade propeller to the central shaft of a small electric motor, and the first desktop fan was born.
