Rare Fan Blade ?

[34FordFabricator]

This fan I personally found in the obsolete stock (back room) of a Ford Dealership in New Jersey about 1965. It is NOS and had a red Ford tag on it which has since fell off. The tag has 18-8600 on it. It still has its original factory black paint on it. I am sure the reason it was still there was that Ford motor co wanted the dealers to install the 4 blade type.
