Kim Frank Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Things are about to change at the Antique Fan Collectors Museum. We will be closing after October 14 for about three weeks so that we can add an additional aisle to the first floor. This will give us an additional 130 display surfaces to better show off all of our fans. This will entail removing all the fans, moving the display cases and making the aisles a bit narrower, then putting all the fans back on the shelves. This will allow for that additional row. One of the aisles will be dedicated to the oscillating fans, showing how fans went from being stationary to being able to move air throughout a room. We have a lot of oscillators on display, but could use a few more, most noteably a Century S-4 and an Emerson 2210. If you have either of these fans and would like to have them on display at the Museum, let Eddie, Tom, or me know and we can make arrangements to get them here. Part of the reason for the reconfiguration is the addition of 2 large collections over the last month or so. In August, Terry Burns collection of 150 fans was put on display and yesterday, a collection of over 100 fans was delivered from Andy Hackman in California . These include large pedestal fans, circulators, hassock fans, and desk fans. It's a very impressive lot. Once we're done, I'll post pictures of the new setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed all the circulators, I see one the museum doesn’t have and needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kovar Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Word on the street is,... they're ridding the museum of junk to make more room for more Emerson fans. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Frank Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 In addition to having more fans in the downstairs museum, we've added a separate addition to the museum specifically for displaying the Emerson fans. It will also have two levels.... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made some interior updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
