Ercole Marelli model 0304, metal and plastic vintage fan from Italy, dating to 1950–1960, 41 cm high, 34 cm wide, 26 cm deep, weighing about 5.6 kg, in good used condition with minor signs of age and stains, and in working order.
Description from the seller
Among the larger and heavier versions, this Ercole Marelli, model 0304, weighs about 5.50 kg.
It has 3 speeds, all perfectly functional, with a lever to have automatic ventilation also on the right/left.
Additionally it can operate in a fixed position by directing it in many ways and trajectories.
It was also designed to be a tabletop fan or to be fixed to the wall, and for this reason there is a hole under the base to hang it on the wall.
There are signs of aging on the arms that support the cage, and it seems that they were painted posthumously.
Naturally, purists will find it easy to remove the paint and restore the cage, with the necessary work, to a silver finish.
The rubber on the base is still soft, not cracked, and shows uniform stains whose nature we do not identify.
It is surely a fan that has worked, but it still carries its original power cord and a 1950s outlet.
Fully functional, it is very powerful and quiet.
For daily use, for safety it is advisable to consult an electrician who will determine at how many watts it operates. We tested it with 240 volts.
WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY.
For the Islands we reserve the right to request a surcharge for shipping costs that may be increased by the carriers.
