Ercole Marelli, model 0304, in good used condition with minor signs of age and stains, a metal and Bakelite fan dating from 1950–1960, about 41 cm high, 34 cm wide and 26 cm deep, weighing about 5.6 kg and made in Italy, functioning with three speeds.
Description from the seller
Among the larger and heavier versions, this Ercole Marelli, model 0304, weighs about 5.5 kg, but beyond that we would like to draw attention to its condition as put up for auction. All original and authentic, the power cord has never been replaced and features a grounded plug. The frame and the rubber base are in nearly perfect condition. It has 3 speeds, all working perfectly, with a lever to also provide automatic left/right ventilation. It also has the ability to operate in a fixed mode, directing airflow in many directions and trajectories. It was designed to be a table fan or wall-mounted, which is why there is a hole under the base to hang it on the wall. It is certainly a fan that has been used but kept in the best possible condition. Functional, it is very powerful and quiet. For everyday use and safety, a electrician’s opinion is recommended to determine its wattage. We tested it at 240 volts. WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY. For the Islands we reserve the right to request an adjustment for shipping costs potentially increased by the couriers.
