I have an interesting Vane Oscillator fan made by Western Electric. It has 
interesting nomenclature, listing the manufacturer as "Western Electric, 
(Formerly Victor)" on the motor, and "Hawthorn" in script across the middle 
of the cage. It seems to have been produced early, as the patent dates were 
late 1890's, and 1900.

Note that the script and the motor ID leaves off the "e" in Hawthorne:
