1937 Emerson style 5460-C 12" Silver Swan oscillating fan. 3-speed, and this one has the less-common copper and brass metal tag on the base; most had a paper decal. Very heavy and amazingly well constructed, this machine weighs in at 35 plus pounds. Sorry, it coasted so long the video ended before stopping.
Great Silver Swan! I've got the one speed 10 inch black bladed and black back model. Mine is in no where near as good of condition as yours but it runs like a champ. I think the one I have is circa 1938.

That is gorgeous!! Those blades really have some pitch to them as well, I love the way it pivots as it oscillates as well.
And it has great bearings!
