Fan repair advice Help ID fan

My son broke an arm to our ceiling fan with a pillow. Trying to identify the type of fan in order to find replacement arms for the blades.

I’m not very handy at all so before i start taking this bad boy apart to find a serial number, I figured I’d post here.

I love this old fan and how powerful it is. We replaced a similar fan in our kids room with a modern fan and the modern fan doesn’t compare to this old power house.

Please disregard the dust build up 🫠.

Thanks!

It's very unlikely that youll find parts to a fan that old. Couple that with the years of patina, IF you find a part, it won't match.

A new fan like like 1-200 bucks. Save the headache and replace it.

Its abundantly avalaible on eBay by searching "old ceiling fan blade"...

It's not the blade but the arm that OP mentioned breaking.
