Vintage Dominion Model 2012 Oscillating Desk Fan Cast Iron Base Tested Working
Description
Add a beautiful piece of vintage household history to your collection with this classic Dominion Model 2012 oscillating electric desk fan!
This vintage fan features an attractive blue-green painted metal motor housing, a heavy cast iron base, four aluminum blades with decorative raised ribbing, and a traditional circular metal wire safety cage.
The fan has been tested and is working properly. The electric motor runs as intended, the ON/OFF switch operates correctly, and the oscillating mechanism functions as it should.
This is a single-speed model. It operates using a simple ON/OFF switch and does not feature multiple speed settings. This is how this particular model was designed and is not a defect.
The electrical cord and wall plug have both been replaced with brand-new components. The fan was tested following the replacement, and all tested functions operate properly.
The heavy cast iron base provides a stable foundation, while the adjustable fan head allows the airflow direction to be positioned as desired. The four aluminum blades feature distinctive decorative raised lines that contribute to the fan\'s classic vintage appearance.
The original Dominion metal nameplate remains attached to the front of the base. Although the nameplate has significant age-related deterioration and missing portions, the manufacturer\'s name is still recognizable.
The original identification label is also partially present on the underside of the base. The remaining information identifies the fan as Model 2012, with an electrical rating of 110–120 volts AC, 60 cycles, and 0.63 amps.
This fan retains its authentic vintage appearance, including natural patina, oxidation, paint wear, scratches, discoloration, and other cosmetic imperfections accumulated over years of use and storage.
The fan has not been cosmetically restored or repainted, allowing it to retain its aged character and original vintage styling.
Whether displayed in a vintage-themed office, workshop, garage, home, or antique appliance collection, this classic Dominion fan offers an attractive combination of vintage craftsmanship, decorative industrial design, and working mechanical functionality.
You will receive the exact Dominion fan shown in the photographs, complete with its newly replaced electrical cord and wall plug.

Helpful Tips & Insights
About the Fan:
Dominion produced a variety of household electrical appliances, including electric fans. Vintage Dominion fans are appreciated by collectors for their distinctive styling, metal construction, and mechanical designs.
This Model 2012 features a heavy cast iron base, metal motor housing, and aluminum blades, giving it the substantial construction associated with older electric fans.
Single-Speed Operation:
Unlike many modern electric fans, this model does not feature multiple speed settings.
The fan operates using a simple ON/OFF switch. When switched on, the motor runs at its designed operating speed.
Oscillation:
The fan features a mechanical oscillation system that moves the fan head from side to side to distribute airflow across a wider area.
The oscillating mechanism has been tested and functions properly.
Electrical Cord Replacement:
Both the electrical cord and wall plug have been replaced with brand-new components.
This replacement was completed before testing, and the fan operates properly with the replacement cord and plug installed.
Vintage Appliance Safety:
This is a vintage electrical appliance with metal fan blades and an older-style wire guard.
Although the fan has been tested and is working, vintage appliances should always be operated with appropriate care. The fan has not been certified to meet modern electrical or mechanical safety standards.
Keep fingers, loose clothing, and other objects away from the moving blades, and do not operate around unsupervised children or pets.
Collector\'s Note:
The original Dominion nameplate, partially preserved identification label, cast iron base, and decorative aluminum blades contribute to the fan\'s vintage character.
The aged finish, oxidation, and visible patina have been retained rather than cosmetically restored.
This makes the fan an interesting addition to a collection of vintage electric fans, household appliances, industrial memorabilia, or retro decorative items.
