Mid-Century Industrial Cool — Literally
This is the kind of piece that stops people in their tracks. A vintage teal enamel ZERO box fan by McGraw Electric Co., made in Canada in the 1940s–50s — and it still works. The chrome handle, industrial silhouette, and that gorgeous teal finish make it as much a display piece as a functional fan.
A Working Piece of History
Tested and confirmed in working order. There's minor surface corrosion consistent with its age, giving it that authentic as-found patina collectors love. This is mid-century industrial design at its best.
