Found this several years ago after leaving Geoff's Old Fan Workshop. Original motor was stamped steel/pot metal and had disintigrated. My guess is that it was originally in a chicken house or something similar. I added a rheostat to make it variable speed. I've still got to balance the blade and get the thrust washers right.

This is a fan that has a 12" steel blade. Runs in 3 distinct speeds. I repainted it in Dupli Detroit Alpine Green and Krylon Fusion Gloss Smoke Grey. I bought a grommet kit and speed switch from Rich Raclawski. Tony Clayton dyed me a piece of zip cord. I get some vibration but for a 12' blade it pushes a lot of air. On high it runs at 3 amps. f https://youtu.be/s00IfuktKsM

OK it’s not original but isn’t that the fun part.. anyway this is my souped up north wind with brass blades and some filigree pinstriping.. another one of my mistakes, I have been trying to downsize some lately and now have to run it by the wife first.. Seems I sold something that I shouldn’t have.. Now the response I got from this little guy was absolutely not, put that back!.. Evidently I’m only allowed to sell the big ugly ones.. Problem is... I don’t have any ugly ones left..

Recently restored this 1948 Emerson for a client and it turned out great! He was super excited to get it back! Took a lot of work though and several hours with the stroboscope, had to put a blade back in clock. IMG_1309.MOV
