Hard to believe Dayton was still building them like tanks late teens. Your fan dates no earlier than 18, and it looks like it was made in the first decade+ of the 20th century. Dayton stuck to their marketing propaganda that the pizza wing blades were more efficient well into the 20s. 🙂 This 12' Dayton type 67 was on the market same time as your 9". Cast iron struts, motor housing, and base. Boat anchor.

Jamie has worked really hard to make the forums a bit more user friendly. We now have a section for birthdays, congratulatory messages, etc under the Community section. Box fan tab now includes industrial fans, circulators, belt drives, etc. We hope you like the changes & hope it makes things more user friendly. I will be moving posts around to new areas the next several days, so be patient. THANKS JAMIE!

Finished up restoring this all brass. It runs in three distinct speeds. Circa 1911. No painting on this one. I sent the whole motor too Mark Olsen to have the stator rewound. He discovered that the rotor shaft had to be replaced and align the bearings. Mark did an awesome job! I can't thank him enough. The fan runs quiet and smooth. This is my second all brass fan. The other is an 8" Western Electric.

Hunnert thou - 4= 96 thou profit !!!?????

No, it's a Westinghouse continuous oscillator. You have to pry off the round cover. Dribble penetrant around it, get it warm with a hairdryer, pull on it with duct tape. NO TORCH

Please use the DARK THEME (found at the bottom of the forums) until further notice. Invision is porting all our old forum material to the new forums as well as us having to make a software update in order for them to do that. As stated in the Announcements & News forum, we are going to experience some issues as no matter what, software updates (along with moving the old forum over) are going to cause some issues. I believe, along with the software update (and the immediate patch - "fixing" the software update they sent out), we are seeing a lag in image loads as the server has to now index a ton more photos that are being brought over from the old forum. I will try to keep everyone posted as to what I know as soon as I know it.
