Vintage Sanyo fans, particularly those featuring metal blades and streamlined, often "bullet-shaped" engine covers, are sought-after collectibles, primarily recognized for their robust construction and distinct mid-century modern or space-age aesthetic. These fans typically date back to the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, an era when Sanyo produced high-quality, durable cooling appliances. This fan is fully functional, although some age related wear and tear.
