AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare model in circulation and used in circulation: CALOR model 3.40, French-made. Calor is a famous French appliance brand that aimed to debut in the 1940s with its own fan to counter the invasion of Italian Marelli. From it came a small but beautiful example in bakelite with aluminum blades. Equipped with a wing screw, it allows you to position the airflow to the desired height. In addition, due to its size it can be placed on a desk, a shelf, or a bookcase to give a vintage touch in Art Deco style. It works perfectly and has never been repaired. It is sent together with a transformer that was added around the 1960s with the advent of 220 volts (the fan would run at 105/115). For daily use we recommend consulting an experienced electrician first, although it operates regularly and quietly. It can be hung thanks to a bracket under the base, and the on/off switch is illuminated in the dark. Also recommended to the most demanding collectors. We do not ship outside the European Union.
