For your consideration is a beautifully restored 12 antique. This is a type S3, model 15. Century Electric Company in 1916. This fan is known by collectors as a “skeletal” motor, due to the skeleton-like open. Design of the motor castings. It features 5 distinct speeds, and an adjustable oscillator that can be switched on and off. Runs as well today as it did when it left the factory 100 years ago. This fan has been completely disassembled down to the last screw. The powerful four pole motor and speed. Electrical windings re-insulated, and new old-style cloth. Used to replace the fan’s head wire. Each steel screw was refinished to remove all rust and corrosion, then “blued” to restore it’s factory appearance. All brass appointments including the 12 blades, 8 wire cage, and front oil cup were machine polished to a mirror shine and. Waxed for protection from future corrosion. New bronze bearings were fabricated and installed, and the rotor was cleaned and. Re- shimmed, and is ready for. The fresh, 20 weight non-detergent electric motor oil is delivered through. Two sealed brass oilers on the top of the motor. This fan’s components were stripped down to the bare cast iron and completely refinished. Includes the filling of all casting imperfections, two coats of two-part epoxy sealer, two coats of. Two-part urethane primer , three black urethane base coats, and three coats of two-part clear. This is a tough as nails automotive paint system that creates finish. That is deeper and smoother than. Even from the factory. In order to refinish the surface where the hub meets the blades, the two were separated. And re-riveted together with the. Appropriate, solid brass rivets. The blade set was then. Static balanced to insure smooth operation. The black background of the motor tag was preserved and polished, raised brass portions hand polished, and clearcoated. New felt was tightly fitted to the fan’s base in order to protect the surface it. Sit on in it’s. An authentic reproduction bakelite plug was added to the cloth covered power. Cord, to finish off the. Refitted electrical components of this fan. There are too many aspects of the restoration process to include them all in. All of the meticulous work was done by me, over the course of several weeks. And one containing the blade assembly and cage. Some very minor assembly that I will happily. Assist with will be required. A bottle of non-detergent electric motor oil will also be included. Feel free to contact me with. Questions, and thank you for taking a look.
