I just saw it was local to me so I asked the seller what the history was on it. That was the story I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 11 hours ago, Anthony Lindsey said: Back to the Amish estate. Since they don't use electricity, what was it used for? Years back I was at an indoor auction in a small town in central Illinois. They had hay wagons full of stuff to auction in the building. Numerous Antique/vintage fans. My stiffest competition was bidding on a few nice brass fans was an Amish gentleman. The rest of the bidders on the fans would fall out around $40-$50. The Amish guy would be my only competition before the hammer came down. He would always bow out between $50-$60. I can't stand sitting at auctions for too long, it drives me nuts. I left a nice complete GE Round back there which I am confident the Amish guy got for $50. I am sure the guy bidding on the fans were glad to see me go. 🙂 In our area there is what is called an Amish Walmart. They buy and sell for profit electrical goods from estates to a mixed crowd.

Robert Grathwol Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Hello fan friends, Heres “an exceedingly meritorious device ‘’ as it says in the Emerson monthly April 1909 kindly posted by Russ Huber. I was the Lucky one to find this one on eBay. Looks to be mostly all there except for one screw on vane base and one leg post. I will try and do a video when I find the time. I quickly made a leg post and tested it out and it works well but needs a lot of air to make it go back and forth. Took some very quick photos as I have been very busy with work and a new puppy. Many Thanks to all who posted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
