Gerry Fisher Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Spotted this Gramercy fan last week in an antique mall and had to buy it since I'd never seen this brand. I also found it interesting that it was made in Boonville, MO, same state that I live in. The company that made it is the Bersted Manufacturing Company, the same outfit that I think made Zero, Wizard, and Eskimo. Is there anyone out there who has seen a Gramercy and knows anything about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Fisher Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 Thanks for the photo, Russ. It looks like our blades are different. Is your's a Model 60 and how many speeds does it have? And, Tom, I'm intrigued with the news that your's has three speeds, since mine has only one. Is the Eskimo style blade you have like mine or Russ'?

You could polish those wings to chrome luster, if that is your taste. I myself have never owned one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Zapf Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 mine has a typical 1960s bersted 12" blade that was on zero eskimo coronado and so many other re brands before the plastic blades came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
