Hello Everyone, just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Keith and I live in Houston, Tx. I picked up a couple of fans from an estate sale on Saturday from what had to have been from a former member of this community as there were lots and lots of old fans. Both fans work but the larger one, has a stripped (screw and wingnut) that adjust the tilt. Also is missing the bolt that connects the oscillator arm to the wheel. The smaller one doesn’t seem to blow very much air and got really hot pretty quick. I would like to learn how old these are and how to get them functioning properly. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Keith

Fraternal.....

Bill, ingenuity at its best…! Just a note…..I’ve found that drill bits are fine for getting close to what I needed. Then I use a hand reamer, that leaves a smooth hole to get it to the desired size. The reamers weren’t cheap but proved invaluable in the long run.

Thank you Larry! It is an honor to be able to "save" some of these cool / beautiful designs.

Rob was our master bartender! And was making the very best Old Fashioneds I Eva got to drink! Geo...

The earliest was the two blade, ornate body and oil cup. Only on me known to exist.

Thanks for the pictures Jeff and thanks to all that came

Thanks for the great photos Jeff! Such a great meet!

13/16"-32 apparently. There is at least one tap on eBay right now. The cheapest I saw was $18.

Rob Schilz's collection is eclectic. Jim jokingly dubbed it the Rob Schilz Museum of Stuff. Rob owns a nice, early Westinghouse Tesla. The switch is a faithful reproduction made by Dave Dimitrion.

Jim unveils this airplane fan, which is a modern example. Jim explained its history to Les Dobbins, left, and Michael Rathburger.

A pristine Menominee ... and a "lamp fan." They're unique; I've never had a lamp fan, but understand they're scarce.

Pillsbury started at the H. E. Lindsey Electrical Supply Company in 02 and worked at turning it into a manufacturing facility. The first Pillsbury AC CF it appears was brought to market through that St. Louis facility in 03 more than likely in small numbers. By 04 it was renamed the Century Electric Co. So, if you have a Pillsbury AC CF with H. E. Lindsey company on the tag, you are fortunate.

The Emerson repairman had less work than the Maytag guy.

Just a quick update on the all brass. There is some minor pitting/deep scratches, but I guess I can let those slide with it being 115 years old haha.
