John Deats Posted February 9, 2023 Share 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 ?

Russ Huber Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Placed on the market in 1926. Replaced with a 10" oscillator in 28. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P Dempsey Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 it'[s what it's worth to you, unless you are a reseller or a pawn star!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deats Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deats Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share 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.

Russ Huber Posted February 10, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Peshoff Posted February 10, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Durbin Posted February 10, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Durbin Posted February 11, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Durbin Posted February 11, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
