One of the things that most people dont know about these fans that I know, (cause my grandfather had six of them in his cleaners and my parents had two that I have now.)is that if you turn the fan over and towards the front of the foot you will see a tab with a hole in it. Remove the foot, put it on backwards, then it hangs on the wall. Thats where mine are.

Thats the first thing I noticed when I first got mine.

Nice fan! I notice it has the solid back on the motor, while your other one has the jet-engine styled air intake.

Too bad about the paint getting messed up. I've heard that soaking things like blades in Dawn dishwashing soap (with water) will loosen stubborn grease and dirt.

The low speed seems pretty quiet.

I guess Ge just changed the styles, and I'll try the diswashing soap.

nice fan! i bought a ge fan just like this one, but i can't get it apart to clean and lube it.

It's tricky but just look for the screws behind the blades.

Same with thecity. I noticed the wall mount immediately.

I just bought one of these at a thrift store. Paid $20 for it, and it's rusty, dirty, and overheats.

@themaritimeman Shoot, I've stuck my finger (accidentally) into this same type of fan, but it didn't hurt THAT bad lol

It is a GE Quiet Blade...not the most valuable GE fan, but certainly one of the nicest.
