I have sold 2 Hanovia Canrad Hassock fans in the past. They were of all plastic/bakelite construction. They only weighed 6 pounds. I bought another hassock that was in great shaped and I kept it. I currently have an Emerson that I will be putting on ebay. Fans are a decent score, but I think most people shy away because they are usually filthy from decades of neglect and can be heavy and bulky. Every one I have bought I have had to break down and clean. But they are great all metal construction fans and run great. Better than the cheap china crap these days.
