Antique 1889 Diehl Mfg Co ceiling fan. This is the very first electric direct drive ceiling fan model, patented by its inventor Philip Diehl in 1889. Made of cast iron, bronze and brass. Extremely rare, ornate and heavy, weights around 100lbs. Runs on 55V DC as these were manufactured before the AC era. Still works well and blows smooth and strong off my 48V DC. Good original condition considering its age. The cast iron body parts show few cracks and some repair, a small piece is missing off the bottom cast iron plate. Blades are included and appear to be original. Everything is shown in the pictures but inquire for more images and a video of it working. Only few of these are left. Great addition to any serious collection.
