Per FanCollectors. Org: The first Emerson Junior was made in late 1921 as a high quality, low cost fan. It was a stationary plug fan which means that it did not possess a switch or an oscillating mechanism. The base was not covered and the fan sat on four rubber feet. The example in our collection of this fan has 9 steel Parker blades painted a brass color which seems to be the standard until late in the screw-on blade’s production. See the matching medallion, as this is the same first model from 1921. There is no “on” switch, it is plug it in and it goes. Unplug to stop it. I’ve bought this from an antique shop a while back, where it was refurbished with a new cord, some paint on the body, and fresh “brass” color coating on the blades. See video, as it does operate – though take care for fingers through the “guard”! This is a wonderful desk piece. It weighs a hefty 9 lbs 4 oz. The neck/angle can be adjusted by a wing-nut screw. They do NOT make them like this anymore. This will be packaged with bubble wrap, sealing wrap, and packing paper to ensure there is sufficient padding.

Antique Emerson Electric Desk Fan Type 28645 9 Inch 4 Brass Blades Circa 1920. I have tested this and it is in good working condition. The on lever with 3 adjustable spots only works on the farthest. It probably needs to be rewired. I DO NOT recommend using it if you don’t redo the cloth wrapped cord!

As an original piece by Emerson, this desk fan exudes a charming antique finish and is suitable for indoor use in any room. With its historical significance and craftsmanship, this fan is a unique and nostalgic addition to any collection of small appliances or kitchen and home decor. Made in the United States, this desk fan is a timeless piece that embodies the elegance and functionality of a bygone era.

This Antique brass blade fan just came out of an old Cape Cod barn. This is a large size fan with a cage measuring about 17 in diameter!! Fan is in working condition and has three speeds /oscillates. It shows wear and would benefit from a cleaning and servicing given that is was unused for many years. A great antique fan!!
