Such a cool fan!  (Pun intended.)

And it works: I tested it.

There's a wing nut on the left side that adjusts the tilt, which moves from about a 60-degree angle (not quite horizontal) to straight up vertical, and even a little downward.

I don't think this fan oscillates, and I don't think it was ever intended to do that.

The on-off knob is on the right side.
