Picked up from an online auction for just over $200 after fees, most I've ever paid for a fan by far but still a fair price, I think. Couple issues that weren't obvious from the photos are two blades slightly bent (one in, one out), and the base has been repainted. Is there any trick to bending the blades back without creasing the brass, or do I just bend the opposite direction by hand? Motor paint appears original. The white paint flecks come off with a fingernail or lacquer thinner, which doesn't take off the existing paint on case or tag. Runs well, a little stiff perhaps but will get oil and a cleaning before any use. From other posts here it seems like it'd date from 1914-16?

Nice fan. Awesome price! You will enjoy it I'm sure. |

They are cool, but those 4 extra inches on each wing along with a heavy duty 4 pole motor make it powerful enough to keep the garage full of breeze.  Here is what your missing below....  Here is what you can get much cheaper, and get the best bang for your buck. Emerson's last patented oscillator adjustment case is far more hardy, way more common to find, because it is designed and constructed so d amn good!

Ahh thought something looked wrong back there, thanks. My other emerson has the style in the image you shared so wasn't sure what was going on. I was reading in another post that someone here makes a replacement plate, but probably wouldn't do me much good without the other missing pieces. - https://afcaforum.com/view_post.php?post_id=537493 So I guess if anyone has one they want to sell I'm in the market... Nothing on eBay at the moment |
