Thing that annoys me the most is there are no markings at all anywhere on it and I would really like to know who the manufacturer of it was.

Probably Westinghouse or GE.

That’s kind of what I thought but everything I have ever seen of theirs is always marked somewhere on it.

The desk oscillator fans of the 40's. 50's and 60's usually had a "data plate" riveted to the base somewhere. The fan blade design is also a key to whom might have made it. With that said.....Emerson or Hunter comes to mind too. Good luck with it. I noticed you said "plastic gear" for the oscillator mechanism. I would think then the era of manufacture to be the late 50's or early 60's.

Was given this today. Apparently it’s designed by Lyle Larson and is called Dago Red. 56” span hollow molded wing. Guy said it flew off of a .40 two stroke. I’m thinking it needs to be electric as I’m done with glow fuel. Wing has slight damage to the LE in one spot but otherwise it’s in good shape. Anybody know anything else about them?

Just finished up my Crack Mini Pitts. Should be a fun backyard basher.

Looks like a pylon racer Chris. Way out of my wheelhouse so that's all I can say.
