What's more than 100 years old but still very cool What's more than 100 years old but still very cool? Desk fans!

These are pages from a fan dealer's catalog released in 1926 and preserved in miSci's archives. We think it's crazy how familiar these of the past look, right down to the oscillating knob on the top. 

Happily, we don't have to screw in the power cord anymore!
