I posted this on the AFCA FB page but with the new forum up and more user friendly, I thought it best to post here too. I'd sworn off 16" fans because of space issues, already having several, but this Robbins & Myers List 1159 came up for a song just an hours drive from me and off I went to take a look. Another old farmhouse fan found miles from anywhere. It has the standard R&M flag (it will be attached to the center of the cage but you can see it resting at the base) but is missing the motor tag, a strut to motor screw, and a shoulder screw to attach the oscillator arm to the disc. Otherwise, it looks complete and it tests out OK so far. Pretty dirty and I don't see much pinstriping on it as I think it may have had originally but I've been surprised by R&Ms in the past when I start cleaning just how much paint detail survives. So we'll see. It has the early model inverted grease cups both front and aft so I'm placing it around 1913. Any insight on this one, things to look out for etc?
