depending on how many amps it draws maybe a 6-26 volt invertor like whats used for radios❓

How about getting the motor re-wound so it runs on 6V ?

It will just run slowly wont it? The inverters wont make enough current (amps or what ever) to make it run like direct to proper 12 volt. You could always add an other 6 volt battery in series (to make 12 volt) to run the fan and use the inverter to charge it at 12 volts? Possible?
