I talked to my mother and uncle about my Grandma’s Monarch Aire fan yesterday. They said that Grandma bought her fan somewhere around 1968-73. But they don’t know what store she got it from. I also have an older two speed all metal fan with the Monarch Aire brand name. It says on the switch plate: Veco Chicago Il. USA, Cat. No. ML-20, 2.7 amps 115 volts, 60 CY. AC only. The motor is a Westinghouse. I got this one last year on ebay. Have you ever heard of Veco? There is no zip code on it.

Do you know about what year this was made? I have one almost just like it that belonged to my grandparents. I’m 36 years old and can’t remember them not having it. Grandma let me have it 20 years ago. I took the motor apart and cleaned and oiled it back then, it’s still going strong. Where yours is a two speed with metal blades, mine is a three speed and has a plastic blade. The case, plastic grilles, and switch are the same as yours.
