Plated steel from posts of past. The guard with the blade is early as the rear ring stock is a full circle.

Michael McMenamin Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 I'm guessing my fan would match up with the second guard photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a magnet to your blade wings and post the result. Edited February 22, 2023 by Russ Huber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. No need to thank me. I posted for everyone here. The McBerty and McCurdy connection was later involving transformers, not fan motors. The two names that brought forth early 20th century fan motors from Peerless/Colonial are Fred McBerty and Evrah Lipps. Both held fan motor related patents, both were mechanically inclined, both were electricians. Mcberty I would think more so with the late 19th century Peerless fan motors.
