Got this at an estate sale for $1 - everything works well. I am thinking it's from the 60's, but not sure - anyone else have one....

I had one years ago, they were very popular in the 60s. Hopefully Tom Zapf will check in, he knows more about box fans than anyone.

Thanks Stan!...with the color, single piece handle (vs 3 piece) and that knob you are actually looking more like early 70s. Plus the 3 wing came later, the 60s versions had 4 round blade petals
the single piece handles very commonly broke just as this one has
