This is a very Rare German made Stirling hot air fan made around 1905. You light the kerosene burner and wait a few minutes, then give the fan blade a spin and away it goes. The original oil tank and burner must have gone bad and was removed. I found this tank and burner that fits under the fan just right. The fan runs fast and strong, I only ran it 5-10 minutes at a time to show it off. The fan stands about 19 tall not counting the blade. It has an 8″ base and a 14″ fan blade held on with the original finial. The hole in the bottom of base is aprox. 3 1/4 and slips over tank and burner. Please take a good look at pictures , this fan does show finish wear with dents etc. Track Page Views With. Auctiva’s FREE Counter.
