My money is on 1930s. Unless someone pops out of the woodwork with a definitive answer, opinions are like rectums, everybody has one. Better get Maico. 🙂

Maico....German.

Very Interesting but stupid.mp4

Interesting table fan?

Zajímavý stolní větrák!

Pretty sure later westy. The off is kind of unique to them. The micarta bladed ones

Good comparison Jim. All of them look different depending on lighting and the camera you use. Especially Charleston. By the way, I've tried other "Charleston Green" colors from one or 2 other manufacturers and they're not very close at all. If you have spraying equipment and want to work with automotive paints. I have an exact color match through a local paint supply house in polyurethane paint. They will ship it to you with the necessary additives via a phone order. The company is BAPS Auto Paint Supply in York, PA. Just call them and tell them it's "GE Brass Bell Green" and tell them that the mix formula is filed under "AFCA". They have a handful of other colors too that I've had color matches. Their paint guy is incredible with his matching abilities. He even matches the original sheen. .

Psst, the "transformer" is called a speed coil or choke. It takes a while to learn all of the terminology. The "slower running speed" and quieter operation of the hospital fans is due to the 6 pole stator and slower overall operating speeds. Not due to the speed coil. Also, to some degree, the speed coil and stator are generally matched, and it's best practice not to mix and match stators and rotors, since normally this doesn't work to a good outcome. Keep in mind that the speed coil only affects med and low speed. In high speed, the speed coil is out of the circuit. Hope that helps.

I carried pounds of hardware to meets & took them home! Good luck, they are brass and have patina!
