Definitely functional but is it a one off or after market? Attached Image (viewed 155 times):

I think GE made a bunch of thiose with handles like that. They where just painted the same as the rest of the fan. What you have is the newer style after the cast iron type.

History of the General Electric Vortalex is well documented elsewhere on this website. Click Me! The handles on the 16 inch fans were introduced post 1940. This one appears to be a 1947 or 48 with catalog number FM16V1.  Last edited on Sun Feb 21st, 2021 12:19 pm by Tom Lefaivre |

Here is a couple pics from the one I found. The handle was black when I got it with original paint. Repainted now.
