Description from the seller
Vintage Marelli Household Appliance - Fan
Brand: Ercole Marelli (historic Italian electromechanical company founded in Milan in 1891).
Era: Mid 20th century (about 1955–1965).
Aesthetic Details: It features a die-cast metal base in teal/military green of the era, a white rubber protective ring at the base, cream-colored plastic blades, and a speed selector knob (marked with the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3).
Plug: Equipped with a classic vintage two-pole plug.
Electrical Control: The vintage wires, insulation, and motor components may have degraded over time. It is advisable to have the internal electrical system and the cord checked by a specialized technician before plugging it into a socket.

Maintenance: For optimal operation without overheating, a deep cleaning and lubrication of the bronze bushings (or bearings) of the motor may be necessary.
