THIS LISTING IS FOR A RARE ANTIQUE 16 G. BRASS FAN – CATEGORY 34021 – TYPE AUU – FORM V1 – SPEC-271088-1 – NP16652 – VOLTS 110 – CYCLES 60 – IN GREAT WORKING CONDITION. THE ONLY PIECE OF IDENTIFICATION THAT I CANNOT READ BECAUSE OF WEAR DUE TO AGE, IS THE NUMBER, BUT THERE IS A CHANCE OF RETRIEVING THE NUMBER BECAUSE I CAN MAKE OUT A COUPLE OF THE NUMBERS AT THE END OF THE NUMBER, HOWEVER BY THE FACTS I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN YOU PLUS THE PICTURES , IT MAKES THIS FAN IDENTIFIABLE HOWEVER IT IS SO RARE THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THIS EXACT FAN ANYWHERE. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT AUU G. FANS ARE PRE-WWI NON-OSCILLATING BRASS BLADEED FANS, WITH BOTH A BRASS AND STEEL CAGE, WHICH THIS IS – A BRASS BLADED FAN WITH A BRASS CAGE – AS FAR AS CONDITION I WOULD RATE THIS IN A GREAT ANTIQUE CONDITION STATE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL THREE SPEEDS RUN SMOOTHLY, THE BRASS BLADES AND CAGE ARE NOT DAMAGED HOWEVER COULD USE A NICE POLISHING (I HOWEVER POLISHED IT FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS TOTAL), THE WIRING HAS NO DAMAGE AT ALL AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE REST OF THE FAN EXCEPT A FEW SCRATCHES ON TWO OF THE BLADES ON THE SAME SIDE THAT. MIGHT BE EASILY BUFFED OUT AND A SCUFF HERE AND THERE ON THE BODY BUT VERY SMALL. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE WIRE GOING FROM THE FAN TO THE OUTLET (WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED YEARS AGO) AND THE UNDERNEATH PLATE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A LARGE STURDY BASE, HOWEVER THAT COULD ALWAYS BE TAKEN OFF AND AN ORIGINAL PLATE COULD BE INSERTED. HOWEVER I DID FIND THE SAME CATEGORY 34021 SIZE AND MATERIAL – 16 G. BRASS BLADES & CAGE THAT WAS ALSO TYPE AUU HOWEVER IT WAS A AND THAT ONE WAS NOT HOWEVER IT DID HAVE A 1 AFTER THE TWO LETTERS IN THE TYPE, IN A ANTIQUE FAN BLOG. FIRST HIS WAS SO COVERED WITH GRIM THAT THE BASS LOOKED BROWN AND NEEDED A LITTLE WORK. BUT HE POSTED THAT THE FAN WAS A VERY RARE MODEL AS HE HAS ONLY SEEN TWO MENTIONS ABOUT IT IN ALL OF HIS RESEARCH. NOW MINE MUST BE SUCH A RARE MODEL THAT SINCE NO ONE HAS IT ANYWHERE ONLINE OR IN ANTIQUE STORES. THERE ARE NO MENTIONS OF IT. ON TOP OF THAT IT IS SAID TO BE TRUE THAT AUUs ARE SAID TO BE THE MOST SAUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTERS, AND NOT ONLY IS MINE AN AUU, BUT IT IS THE ONLY AUU-V1-34021 GE FAN FOR SALE ANYWHERE. HOWEVER, THIS HAS TO MAKE IT HIGHLY DESIRABLE ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS TECHNICALLY AN ANTIQUE AS IT WAS MADE AT THE LATEST 1916. HOWEVER I WANTED TO PRICE THIS TO SELL AT 299.90 OBO SO IF YOU WANT IT GRAB IT NOW BECAUSE IT MIGHT SELL LOCALLY IF YOU DONT.
