Coleman Room-to-room fan, never seen a fan like this! (Like the lantern, not Barber-Colman)

[Andrew White]

Good evening all,

I saw this one at an old house here in Seguin! The Coleman company had a big manufacturing facility in nearby New Braunfels for a long time I think. I do not know if this was made there, I was not able to see any tag on it. Has anyone seen anything like this? it looks so cool with its blades and that hub covering the motor! It looked to be about 8 to 10 inches in diameter. I was not able to run the fan unfortunately.

 

If anyone knows anything about these kinds of fans let me know!

That is really neat! My aunt & uncle had some similar in their farm house in northeastern Missouri. They had a “central” oil stove & the fans would spread the heat through the house.

THAT IS TRULY A GEM AND LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN WELL USED..... THAT NEEDS A "SAVE"
