John Deats Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 Went to an antique shop today and purchased this 1927 emerson jr. Sticker price was $225.00. Everything was 50% off today, which made it more within my reach. After some negotiation, I purchased it for $60.00. So, was this a deal, steal, or a robbery ? Quote
David Kilnapp Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 That was a GREAT deal!! Congratulations! 1 Quote

Russ Huber Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Placed on the market in 1926. Replaced with a 10" oscillator in 28. 2 Quote
Steven P Dempsey Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 A deal, not a steal . .. seem them go for 25 to 300 depending on condition and guys are adding brass blades, custom paint 1 Quote
Steven P Dempsey Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 it'[s what it's worth to you, unless you are a reseller or a pawn star!! Quote
John Deats Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 Russ, the logo has the #7. Even says 10 inch. I do not doubt your knowledge, I merely went by the 20 year add to the number to acquire the date of manufacture. Quote
John Deats Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 I have yet to sell any of my completed fans. That's why they're in every room of the house. When I find an emerson, I feel like I found a diamond in the ruff. I like the fanfair prices. They are down to earth. Thanks for everyone's input. I feel like i won one. Quote
Russ Huber Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 John, my bad, I mistook your purchase for the 9" oscillator. That is a good solid 10". You did good. Quote
Bob Peshoff Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 You did very well. $100 is about average in reasonable condition. Of course to Rocky that's worth a $100 thou..... 1 Quote

John Landstrom Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 No wonder I can’t ever find one ! You have ‘em all at your place…..or should I say warehouse!!! 2 Quote
George Durbin Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) I think I will have a regional meet and every one is required to restore a jr. for me and I will supply all the Budweiser they can drink! It seems like a good idea to me anyways!😅🤣😂 Edited February 10, 2023 by George Durbin 1 1 Quote

John Deats Posted February 11, 2023 Author Posted February 11, 2023 George, I'm beginning to take a shine to these jr's also. Not quite at your level, but I'm working on it. Quote
George Durbin Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I like them because they are as simple as any fan you can buy and... They have the great look of being a much older fan! They don't break the bank and you can gussy them up as you want to... And you can drink a lot Bud while working on them before they get dangerous!😅🤣😂 Edited February 11, 2023 by George Durbin 1 Quote
George Durbin Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I am curious why, red badge jrs. Seem to be the most coveted of the jr. line up... Edited February 11, 2023 by George Durbin Quote
