This fan is original paint. There's no spot for a brass information/ ID tag  my guss is it had a paper I ,D on the Base but is gone? I can't figure it out. No spot anywhere where there was a tag, no rivit or otherwise spots of where it would be.

Basically I'm trying to figure out it's heritage.
Year made model #, Type,
It's birth information.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Steve ,and Anthony for the information. That makes sense. I thought it was either a earlier repaint or original. But the green painted fan makes sense. Thanks Steve and Anthony for your help to identify this fan.
