I believe that the round cover of the gearbox is made of pot metal. Can you check with a magnet and let us know? The slightly earlier Colonial front oscillator (without a screw in the center of the cage badge) I have does not have any pot metal including the neck pivot or the round gearbox cover shown here. This is one of my quietest and smoothest running fans. Stephen, the screw in the center of your cage badge is how all of the steel cage models are.

Steven, the Peerless/Colonials with five tab feet were introduced circa 1909 in stationary. That is also when Ron’s unique, geared oscillator was made. The typical forward oscillator with five tab feet was introduced around 1910. Early models have an open ring and early oscillators have a shorter disc. Later models have a rectangular brass badge. I’m not sure when that change occurred. The five tab switched to the cone base roughly around the beginning of WW1 if memory serves correctly and the models with upturned wing edges date 1916 and later. My cone base was made ~1919. The pivot gearbox disc, and gearbox lid are all potmetal. Your is slightly later than mine, so I’d guess it’s the same in that regard. Hope this helps.
