How to Determine the Age or Manufacture Date of a GE Appliance. To determine the age of your appliance, use your serial number (not model number) to find date of manufacture. Our serial numbers begin with two letters followed by six numbers. The 2 letters at the beginning of the serial number tell you the month and year it was made.

The electric fan was invented in the 1880s in the sweltering heat of the New Orleans summer.

Over the years the design was adapted and tweaked, with the first recognisably modern electric fans being produced in the 1920s.

They’re popular retro collectors items.

Here’s how to identify one.

Brand and model

Most electric fans will have a brand name displayed prominently in the centre of the cage.

This will immediately offer a clue as to its value, as certain “prestige” names are highly sought after.

Examples include Veritys, which regularly sell for several thousand dollars.

The model's issue number will tell you exactly when it was made and give you an idea of its value.

You can check it on eBay or try the Antique Fan Collectors Association (AFCA) forums.

Size and shape

Up until the 1910s, most fans were large and unwieldy things designed for use in office spaces.

After 1910 the technology had advanced to the stage where fans were small and cheap enough to go in the home.

Materials

Prior to the first world war brass was the dominant material used in making cages.

However, manufacturers were forced to switch to steel as global reserves were co-opted for the war effort.

After the war most never switched back.

Colour

Initially fans were mainly produced in a stark black, with the notable exception of General Electric – which used green.

As fans became more widely available, designers began experimenting with different colours. So colour is a good indicator that your fan was produced from the 1930s onwards.

Keep an eye out for…

The Emerson Silver Swan: This 1930s design classic sells around the $300 mark in good condition.

Veritys Junior Orbit: If you have one of these in good condition, you’re looking at around $2,500.

General Electric: General Electric fans sell for anything from $60 to $1,000.
