This is a four-blade fan from Shibaura Works, the predecessor of Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd. (Toshiba), which was formed in September 1939 (Showa 14) by merging with Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd., originating from a telegraph factory established in 1875 (Meiji 8). The iron's solid feel and the spiral-shaped mesh give it a retro yet charming appearance. In those days, electric fans were among the first domestically produced appliances, along with irons. Before the war, they were known as "electric fans" and were well-loved items. However, they were discontinued due to the war and the rise of air conditioning, reflecting the changes in Japanese life. 12 inch A.C.
