Two Fans, available separately.
These two vintage desk fans celebrate an era when everyday appliances were built with both durability and style in mind. Each retains its original maker's branding and distinctive character, making them ideal as decorative display pieces for a study, office, retail space, or retro-inspired interior. Both have the typical acceptable noise associated with these vintage fans.
Polar Cub Desk Fan
A charming vintage Polar Cub desk fan, instantly recognisable by its distinctive turquose/ mint green enameled finish and compact Art Deco-inspired silhouette. Featuring an original wire guard, pressed aluminium blades and the iconic Polar Cub centre badge, this fan captures the optimistic industrial design of the mid-20th century. Whether displayed on a desk, shelf or in a collection of vintage appliances, it makes a striking decorative piece with plenty of nostalgic character. Note: In working order: turns side to side, white noise.
Flash Desk Fan
A classic vintage Flash desk fan with a timeless industrial design, finished in a subtle metallic tone and fitted with elegant pressed aluminium blades behind its original wire cage. The understated styling and compact proportions make it equally suited as a decorative accent or collector's piece, while the original Flash branding adds to its authenticity. A versatile example of mid-century utility design that brings character to any interior. Note: It only operates on setting '1 ' and does turn side to side slowly - white noise.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.
Items are wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, they are no longer insured. We recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance through your own short-term insurer.
Due to the fragility of glass, we do not recommend shipping such items outside Gauteng. Please refer to our Shipping Policy for more information: https://retrend.co.za/policies/shipping-policy
