We always remark on how many generic names are thrown on newer plastic fans compared to back then, but there really were a lot in that era as well. Country Aire, Ivy, Ambassador, Cool-Breeze, Polaris, Galaxy, Penncrest, Windmere, Kelaire, KMC, Eskimo, Windsor, Zero, Barkleigh, Monarch Aire, Toastmaster...

Woolworths brand fan. I have a 3 speed like this with a knob instead of the pushbutton. Cool fan though

I like these old mc graw Edison box fans. Pretty solid box fans aside from the motor buzz these generally have. Definitely one of my personal top favorite metal blade box fans

[SabianDrummerAAX]

Those are made by McGraw Edison. And to think this is what a throwaway fan used to be? My my have things changed.

What a cool find bro USA 🇺🇸 Made and will last for years to come You should be able to use it in your windows I enjoyed the video Bro

Happy Home was a brand that was sold in Woolworth’s and made by McGraw Edison in Boonville, Missouri. These inexpensive fans lasted for decades if regularly oiled. They were also sold under other brands such as Eskimo, Manning Bowman and Toastmaster which used different colors and sometimes had rotary switches instead of push button.

The only happy home box fan I remember has a torcan blade with X style covers with the little happy home logo in the middle
Edit: happy home has died out and they're no longer found

Indeed the bearings on these are quite subpar. Surprisingly though they aren’t bad fans. Also I was wondering if you still had that gray and silver ge all purpose fan. I haven’t seen it on the channel in a while.

I found a happy home box fan, and it's a little one. That thing really blows air around

[trevordoesrandom]

Seems like a good fan. Hope it works well for you,

This looks like the one that Spats Bear filmed back in 2007. Only his is branded Eskimo and is in a turquoise color instead of green like this one. These are also WAY BETTER than all the cheap box fans they still sell at Walmart, Home Depot, and everywhere else.

[NealPilger]

You did not sing into the fan - that is what these are great for.

[versedbridge]

Yup that’s the exact same one I restored except it’s branded manning bowman

[fordmuscleluis]

Good video bro on the initial checkout of this vintage 2 speed box fan hopefully you'll get the bearings oiled

[grandtheftauto]

Badass fan dude I need to find something like this

[damianjninjutsu]

They don't make good fans like they use too. I could sure use one of those by my bed.
