First of all, people are astounded at this list of American fan companies. Probably, most people only think of more common fans like General Electric and Emerson.
Consequently, there are many companies who tried their hand at electric fan manufacturing. As a result, some companies made it and others are short lived. Finally, when air conditioning enters the scene, electric fan companies evaporated.
In conclusion, the following is an alphabetized list of American electric fan companies who, at one time, produce these beautiful works of art. In addition, some of these fan companies produce fans for only a couple of years. As a result, this adds to their scarcity and desirability.

Finally, that completes my list of American electric fan companies from a to z. Most of all, can you believe how many companies produced electric fans? In addition, there are European electric fan manufacturing companies that I did not list. Hence, fans from Europe compose another list, but is not the focus of my collection.
Therefore, if you come across any additional oddball American fan companies that are not listed, you should contact the Antique Fan Collectors Association . As a result, they can add your discovery to their archives, and therefore, benefits everybody!
