The A.C. Gilbert Company, founded by Alfred Carlton Gilbert, was an American toy company famous for creating Erector Sets, chemistry sets, and other educational toys. Gilbert was a remarkable figure, an athlete, magician, and inventor, who believed in the power of toys to inspire creativity and learning in children.
Gilbert fans, like this one, were part of their broader range of household appliances and were known for their distinctive designs and durable construction. The company ceased operations in the 1960s, but their legacy lives on through the enduring appeal of their innovative and well-crafted products.
This adjustable, oscillating fan works and is a reminder of the bygone era of when America built things that lasted.
