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!!

It will need a good cleaning and tuning. Tighten up the screws and bolts to make sure the fan blades don’t touch. Pictures show it on and the blades spinning. It doesn’t have a burning smell or make weird noises. Pictures show condition of everything. Rare bc it’s 18 inches from side to side. This is a heavy and larger desk fan. Ask if you have any questions.

If you’re an uncompromising collector of antique technology, make sure to check out all my listings after you look at this one. I don’t think you’ll find a better, broader or more balanced assortment of technical antiques anywhere — hundreds of listings each year, almost all of them featuring eye-popping “gee whiz” gadgetry in exceptional original condition. Here’s a beautiful, working, and very uncommon Western Electric 1/12 HP bipolar DC utility motor that dates to the 1890’s. As you can see in the pictures and the video, the motor’s cosmetic condition is excellent, and it runs smoothly and quietly. The motor has been disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, and it is suitable for safe operation. It’s the same rectifier that you see in the photos and in the video. Because this is a DC motor, it cannot be used with 120V household AC unless you are using this (or some other) AC to DC rectifier as an intermediary. If you attempt to run the motor with straight AC from your wall outlet, without using a rectifier, you risk irreparably damaging the windings — and more… The motor is approximately 8″ high by 8 1/2″ wide and weighs approximately 16 lb. Barn-Find, but when your “bargain” arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you’ll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.

For your consideration is an old Western Electric fan from the early 20th century. This fan runs on all 3 speeds, it does speed up and slow down very slightly while running. It may be a dirty commutator or the brushes may need adjustment. One of the cage’s S wires has been replaced. This fan is an “all brass” model. The motor housing and base are brass like the blades, cage and struts. Though they are factory “blued” or plated, which gives it a black painted appearance. This coating can be polished off if you desire, but the coating is in great original shape.
