"Wizard" was a Western Auto house brand -- I've got one of those in my kitchen, and they're very nice quality for an inexpensive fan.

I'd guess just after the war, 1946-49 or so. Still enough of a thirties industrial look, but moving in the direction of fifties stylization.
Here's some pics of mine. It was my grandparents, so I got it for free. It works great, but doesn't get a lot of use these days. Those old style guards don't offer much deterrent for curious little fingers.
We call that a learning experience here. Actually my sons have never gotten the idea in their head that sticking your finger in there is a good idea. lol lol
Every idiot knows you never stick your finger in an electric fan or light socket. That's what tongues are for! :tongue:
Very little will put you to sleep faster than the noise of an old fan on a hot summer day. Especially if you have a few ice cold gin and tonics while listening to it.
Oh yeah! Love the sound of a vintage fan at night. Some say it reminds one of being in the womb.
Or in a B17.
