We went to a play in Marlin Tx, and these fans were in the balcony.I apologize for the photos.We we’re on the ground and it was dark up there and closed to the public.Looked like they have not run for a very very  long time.Theater built in 1924.I thought it may be of interest to some.I think 6 in total 2 missing blades,blade.

Those are 20s GEs, so original to the building. I hope some idiot doesn't decide to discard them due to the blades.

I spent a couple of nights at the Ant Street Inn in Brenham, TX earlier this week and found these two ceiling fans hanging in their ballroom.  The ceiling fixture was hanging in their restaurant.  It was massive.  Probably about 8' - 10' in diameter.

Glad to see those are still there. We stayed a couple of times at Ant Street about 25 years ago when the Traylor’s still owned it. I was disappointed the “Galveston Room” where we stayed had modern fans with the antique furnishings.

The old GE's are crying "fix us please!" I have extra GE blades and irons if they want to get the broken one fixed.
