Rare Vornado (Mint Blue) 20C3-1

[Dob]

This one is rare due to the color. Officially marketed as "Mint Blue", this color was released along with two others in 1956. The others were "Mist Grey" which consisted of a light grey/dark grey color scheme and "Coral Rose" which was a salmon pink/dark grey combination.

The reason these colors are rare is due to the weak paint they used. It is very hard to find one of these, especially the blue and pink ones in good shape. The paint is usually flaking off and the fan has severe rust.

Ooh…now if they built fans like this again with those colors, people actually might NOT throw them away.

Personally, for me to buy one, it would have to look cool, made of metal, and reliable. If I can oil the bearings, service the fan myself and it wouldn't burn out in a year or two, I would buy a new fan. Oh, it also has to move air like this little 7" fan does. This thing out performs those 70's and 80's Lasko/Galaxy fans.

So buy one. You can get these small Vornado fans in the regular color for pretty cheap.
