The first fan I really wanted to get, and to a certain extent obsessed over for more then a day or two was the GE Vortalex. I loved the hook design of the blades and the super deep cage. I finally found one at a local antique shop a year ago and that brought me to the AFCA when I needed to rewire it. I was introduced to the notion that it was stamped steel and that made it harder to repair, and that there was even such a thing as a cast Iron fan. Regardless I managed to rewire it and it's still one of my favorite fans to use, quite and powerful. This one is a circa 1947 12 inch version.
