I’m closing out November with an outstanding assortment of mechanical, technological and musical antiques, so make sure to check out my other listings after you look at this one. Even if you’re just a casual collector, I suspect there will be something that catches your eye. Here’s a beautiful, working and very scarce 20″ high three-speed “banker’s fan manufactured in the mid-1920’s by the S. Condition is excellent throughout. Beautiful bronze-toned enamel on the pressed metal spherical cage, cast iron base and steel fan blades, with only minor wear and scattered minor marks. No dents anywhere in the cage, and no damage to any of the fan blades or to the bottom plate. Armature shaft is straight, and the fan runs quietly on all three speeds. ID plate is in excellent condition, with no rust or corrosion. The line cord has been replaced with a silk-sheathed replica identical to the original, but electrically sound and not a fire hazard. That’s about it. The item “Outstanding 1925 S. A. X. Vertical Banker’s Fan 20 High withSpherical Steel Cage” is in sale since Sunday, November 27, 2016. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Kitchen & Home\Electric Fans”. The seller is “firebottles” and is located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This item can be shipped worldwide.
