  1. Originally bought this fan just for the blade and the little rubber bottom.. A lot of the rubber bottoms are missing so I thought I would sell this one on eBay, Then keep the blade for another one of my bipolar projects.. The fan was very very rough but then when I found out the base was made of brass, I made a terrible mistake of telling it to my wife as interesting.. this led her to me shining it up along with the blade and then seeing what I could do with the rest of the fan.. she didn’t like the idea I was going to pitch everything because it had lasted 100 years and that what I was doing with some sort of a crime .. I did start feeling sorry for the damn thing so interestingly when the fan was done it looked really good but it had a weird problem.. low speed was nice, medium was high on most fans, and high was super fast.., after just a few seconds I thought it was going to self-destruct.. I wish I would’ve taken a video but anyway I disconnected the high and now it’s only a two speed.. I have been involved with antique fans for a long time now and I have never seen a fan run at some crazy speed as if plugged into 220 ?..The badge says 110.. style 801..is there a possibility that it’s the wrong badge on a 32 V fan.. but slow is about where it should.. So I don’t understand what’s going on.. anyway it turned out so nice that I am showing it off.. I think the brass and steel complement each other nicely..

  2. Good morning fan friends: Recently I saw a little brass blade advertised on eBay for a polar cub. I've always been interested to improve my little polar cub so I took a chance and made an offer to the seller, which he accepted. The blade arrived yesterday and it was everything I had hoped for, but judge for yourselves. The seller shipped immediately after I paid using PayPal and the little blade arrived in a small box as advertised. I have the seller's email address if anyone is interested. I'd rather let the seller negotiate a price but I can tell you it wasn't much including shipping and it really makes this little fan special. Hope I'm not breaking any rules with this post. There is no incentive, financial or otherwise, for me.
