Hi all,

Just got this sweet little fan from one of the many antique shops in Leominster today, I have found some pictures of it online, but can't actually find any information on it.

The main things I want to know about it are as follows:

What year was it manufactured?

Where can I view the registered design for it?

My dad had one of these. His had green blades with a white body and was called 'The Guardian' and intended for use in a greenhouse. However, he just used it as a desk fan despite the lack of protection from the blades.

This looks like a relative too:

I wonder if the lack of guarding later got it consigned to the greenhouse market?
