Highly dependent on how complete and functional it is. Fair could be $300 or $1000

It’s either engraved or possibly was in the casting mould.

Just happened to stop at an estate sale and there it sat. It's been several years since I've found one out in the wild. It runs beautifully. I assume it has been restored at some time? Found in Kennesaw, GA

Test your knowledge, or just enjoy the view.....

So far I have seen 3 29648s with Improved Parkers, this is #4.

I will want one when done.

I'm unsure

If the wing stamping doesn't include the word "Improved" your fan dates no later than 27. The wing stamping with the word "Improved" started either late fan motor season 1927, or the beginning of 1928. The improved Parker wings were implemented with high probability between the years of 1926 and 1928. The "Improved" Parker stamping more than likely appeared in 28 being the issue date for the improved Parker blade patent was late season in Sept. of 27.

Ain't that just as sweet as it can be?

No need to prepay. I will post when done. After I post them, if you need some, just pm me.

The Ball motor fans were always CCW rotation, they did not use capacitors, they were a 4 pole motor. i checked every catalog i have from 1948-1964 no window fan with the ball motor was electrically reversible. my guess is that someone reassembled your fan incorrectly at some point. ive had these apart, and there is nothing preventing this from happening, the stator fits in the housing either way.

Got rid of some small scuffs in the background so it prints properly.

Man it always amazes me how “not really black” most black paints are when compared to Japan. I use that gloss protective enamel some…it’s great stuff but takes soooo long to dry. Been using black lacquer a lot though for the fast dry tones like on Emerson gear boxes and collars and such. Mostly I ise one shot lettering enamel, mostly for small in-painting touch ups like on bases, but I did use it in a touchup gun and painted an entire base once and it looked amazing. Laid down great. And you really have to be looking at it just right to see that’s it’s not the same as the Japan. (Pic- base one shot, motor original Japan)

Will be making this badge. The artwork is already done. I got a suitable background but need to fix a bit before using it for the background.

Thank you all for your help, the information is very helpful to me! I believe that, with your help, I will complete the motor rewinding for this Century ceiling fan.

I have a bunch of old issues from the mid-late 90's - early 2000s if they are of any use. I couldn't log in using the password I have.
