Westinghouse gyro ceiling fans from the 1920s are both rare and highly collectible, especially in a copper oxide finish. These fans were innovative for their time, featuring dual, counter-rotating fan heads mounted on a central motor, which created a unique oscillating airflow. The gyro design not only offered functional cooling but also became an Art Deco or early industrial-era design icon. A copper oxide finish would add to its value, giving it a rich, aged patina that collectors and interior designers often seek out for restoration or display. If yours is in working condition or even restorable, it’s a historically significant and potentially valuable piece of early American electrical and design engineering.
