1971 Spring-Aire 20" Box Fan

Model P-42.
Any of you recognize this? haven't filmed this in over 6 years! I thought it was time for a refresh!
Here's one of my cleanest and one of the first box fans I acquired, this Avocado Green Lakewood Thermostatic box fan branded under Spring-Aire for a certain unknown store chain. Blades are mirror-like and I have yet to polish them, I don't know how the grills aren't yellowed or aged. This had to be indoors most it's life. Runs smooth on all 3 push-button speeds, and the Thermostat works well. You can tell these are earlier P-series Lakewood box fans by the rear motor support mounts, in 1971-1972 the support bars curved around the motor and had curved bracing above and below the motor. While later ones just had bars.
Specs:
Blade Diameter: 20"
Speeds: 3
Motor: McMillan
OEM: Lakewood Electric Mfg Co.
Year: 1971

Love the super long spin down time we use to have a P-23 Avocado green Lakewood and we gave it to my Pastor / Brother in law he still has it to this day... i enjoyed the video

Very cool! It sure does look like it was well taken care of. This is the first time I’ve ever seen the Spring Aire brand name.

Yea Spring-Aire I believe was some mom & pop department store brand for a certain store I haven't researched yet, they also had 12" and 14" Lakewood box fans under the same brand. I got lucky on this guy, came from a rich house and guy said it just stayed in the closet! so it was technically preserved!
