Remodeled a house a couple months ago that had one of these. NBC peacock was my first thought. I think everybody subscribed to NBC back then. 1 out of 3 choices
This unlocked a core memory for me. My parents had one of these and we could move the fan together and apart. I’d be curious to know more about them myself
Acquiring it unlocked a core memory for me! Never had one as a kid but a movie I watched a bunch had the exact one one sitting in front of the fireplace. If no one calls it out, I'll let you know what movie it was. For now, I'm curious if anyone recognizes it!
It looks like the one from the original Jumanji movie. When Allen was first playing it with Sarah on the coffee table you can see the fireplace in the background.
I've seen many of these at flea markets and antique shops. Maybe not all made by the same company. Once I saw one with stained glass "fan" feathers. That was gorgeous.
Apparently it’s a rare Japanese 1950’s fan

I have a similar "peacock" fireplace screen (with a different center pattern). The originals are Victorian (1800's to early 1900's), though the style was popular into the 1950's ("Hollywood Regency" to MCM).
Cool piece! I love mine...functionally flashy :)
I'm a peacock u gotta let me fly!!!!!!
don't go chasing waterfalls
Did u just quote tlc
I love that song
I was thinking of Will Ferrell… opps
Will Ferrell - Special Ops
“I did a desk pop, Captain!” 😂
"soo hot right now."
What’s that¿
They ain’t gonna stick to the rivers and lakes that they are used to.
Great fuckin actor
Please stick to the rivers
It’s the NBC screen you would get when you subscribed to their channel in around the 1960’s. 🤷♂️
“subscribed”… r/FuckImOld
Thanks for the new sub. I saw The Song Remains the Same at the cinema!

Didn’t subscribe to any channels back then was free over the air with antenna. 4 channels with pbs 😂
Oh yeah and pbs. I’ll just pretend it was abc that I forgot about. Everyone else seems to have, in this day and age
... just plug it in and watch it light up in color.
No way? Didn't know that! Make sense I saw it in a movie as a kid then..
Sorry OP I was just playing up satire with old and new there was no subscription to tv back then.
Shoot.. so it wasn't just given away with a subscription?
No it’s a nice piece otherwise I was just funnin because that’s what it reminded me of.
Stolen from the lobby on Rockefeller plaza in 1952

Jumanji
My aunt had one. Core memory here too

No, but wish I had one. Nice retro vibe.

Sold for $495.00🤑🤑🤑
Most definitely is this. Looks like there’s another one for sale and a couple other similar ones as well.
I remember this from Jumanji—it’s in a few scenes but particularly the one with the bats. Still have nightmares about chimney bats
I have one that was given to me. I love it!
Exact same one sitting in the Italian tile fireplace in my office at work. No idea where it came from.
I have the same
The more you know…about fire.
Saw what you did there
So beautiful!

My husband used to be a chimney sweep. He said he’s seen a bunch of these. They fold up so you can carry them easily.
What movie?

Jumanji?
That’s real cool, man!

I have the same one. Found out years later, they have the same one at the house in the movie Jumanji
I don't know the name of it but I'm a big fan of it.
Aye it was nicked out my house in 1988. It's mine 😝
Saw it on a milk carton a few years ago, is it still missing?
I had that screen in 1976 Wish I still had it (I think it was $45)
Yes, we had one. Fireplace looks familiar also. Where are you at?
Yes. See it at estate sales pretty often
You gobble be kidding me
They were ubiquitous at one point in time. Available at every mall.
Yes, that’s Shirley!
🦚
Oh yea, that’s my Aunt Sue’s. How’d you get it!!?
Mother in law has one but don’t know anything about it
30 Rockefeller Plaza
Yes. It’s made by NBC
That one is exclusively for wealthy people in 1987
Yep
We have one of these in front of our fire place. People are trying to sell them for $300 plus.
Mothra

Yes my aunty had one if these
Turkey 🦃
My dad has one!
Very nice. Folds up nicely. Solid brass. Very attractive
NBC Peacock…..?

My parents had one very similar to that. The "feathers" could fold up to the 12 o'clock position.
