1928 COPPER BANK VAULT VENTILATOR O. MC CO FAN 27H RARE OBSCURE GREAT LOOK. WELL THIS WILL GIVE PEOPLE A REAL CONVERSATION AT YOUR NEXT PARTY. I FOUND ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION ON THIS THROUGH ITS PATENT NUMBER. AT THE BOTTOM W THE FAN IS IT HAS A METAL TAG WITH THIS INFO: PAT. 17, 1928 WEST PAT. AND PUT IN THIS PATENT NUMBER YOU WILL FIND ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION ON THIS LITTLE INVENTION BY ROSS WEST, SHOWS THE SPECS, DRAWING AND INFORMATION (FOUR PAGES)…. I HAVE TYPED SOME UP FOR YOU INCASE YOU DONT GET TO THAT SITE, BUT TO SUM IT UP QUICKLY FOR THE CURIOUS… IF YOU EVER GOT STUCK IN A VAULT YOU WOULD SUFFOCATE IN A FEW HOURS BECAUSE THEY ARE AIR TIGHT, IN VAULTS THEY WOULD HAVE A PLUG THAT YOU WOULD OPEN UP, STICK THE SMALL END INTO THE HOLE AND DRAW IN FRESH AIR…. AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THIS ACTUALLY CAME OUT OF A BANK…. THE FAN ACTUALLY WORKS STILL, THE CORD IS PRETTY ROUGH. THIS IS ALL MADE OF COPPER. YOU HAVE THREE HANDLES. THE SMALLER END IS DENTED BECAUSE IT GOT THROWN AROUND BUT I DONT THINK IT WOULD TAKE TO MUCH TO STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT, WOULDN’T BE PERFECT BUT IT WOULD LOOK A LITTLE BETTER. SO MAKE SURE YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE TOP. THE BOTTOM W THE FAN IS 7 1/2″ ACROSS, THE SMALL OPENING IS A LITTLE LESS THAN 3″ WIDE AND ITS 27 HIGH ALL TOGETHER. See photos for what you will receive.
