16″ DIAMETER BLADE – ROBBINS & MYERS TRIPOD BASE “LOLLIPOP OSCILLATOR A. ELECTRIC FAN – PATENTED DEC. 26, 1893 – FAN MOTOR WORKS FINE. An all original ROBBINS & MYERS – SPRINGFIELD – OHIO A. “Lollipop” oscillator electric fan with a 16 dia. With a tripod base. One of two stamped brass maker’s plates cites a PATENT date of DECEMBER 26, 1893. The brass “LOLLIPOP” oscillator stick and flat disk assembly is lackin. G, but its mounting spindle is present as is shown. We have been told that a accurately made “LOLLIPOP” piece is being reproduced and can be had to finish off this fan. The stamped brass flag w/ ROBBINS & MYERS name and logo cage BADGE is broken off out of the center of the fan. Cage where it was once braised. These may be reproduced and available – but we are not certain. As this exact brass fan blade cage and badge was used in later more common round base ROBBINS & MYERS, a purist can more easily find and use one to finally bring this fan up to snuff all the way if so desired. Entire fan stands 21″ TALL and the fan blade cage is 17″ WIDE. The fan also measures10 from front. Of cage to back of the motor. The fan weighs 26 POUNDS. THIS FAN WORKS FINE and is activated by the ALL ORIGINAL functioning early form shuttle switch. Electric cording appears to be original but has the tan colored outer cloth surround worn. Wear, scratches and paint discoloring is all original and is consistent with age and use. See all photos as they are part of the description. Some remnant of gold pin-stripping is. Still evident throughout the fan assembly, but worn. Set screw to pedestal support below fan. Motor is old but may not be original.
