Vornado Table Fan Fan - Part Two

"The Turnabout"

Another great group of pics of an antique Vornado table fan, this one is from the folks at vintagefan.com

Quoting the site:
"

1950-54c. The O.A. Sutton Corporation, Wichita, KS., U.S.A. Vornado Turnabout Table Fan

"Meet George Jetson" , the Vornado Turnabout Table Fan seems to shout with its Space Age design. The "rocket ship" turnabout model is one of our favorites because its styling represents its era so well. While the cool styling abounds, this atomic age fan moves air like it's rocket powered.

The exclusive Vornado ducted design allows all of the air from the blade vortex to funnel out the front. When used in the upright position, the vortex is directed by a cone to push out around the edge of table.

The Vornado Turnabout table fan is functional piece of furniture and it is especially suited to an enclosed porch or interior space that represents the 40s, 50s, or early 60s design"

There is a wealth of interesting info for fans of fans at vintagefans.com - definitely worth a look.

Some Classic Vornado Design - Vornado Fan Table

Vintage 1950's Era Vornado Table Fan

A big thanks to sharpknees for posting up some pics of his 28F Vornado Fan Table. A little bit Jetsons, a little bit Eames- this is a classic with a unique and functional application of Vornado's Whole Room Circulation. Another "thank you" to fan guru ZacharyDY4's enthusiasm and knowledge on seemingly every fan out there, including Vornado!

Vornado still manufactures a vintage style fan that features the classic design cues of 1940's and 1950's era Vornados. If you have a Vornado Fan or Heater that you would like to show the world, join our Vornado Fan Club group on Flickr, and show us what you've got!
