Trevor Andersen Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 I saw that too. It was a disappointing show for fans, anything electrical really. Quote
John Trier Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) There are fans and other good antiques that pass between dealers that the pubic never sees and have a destination far away from Walnut. This happens at every antique show and happened this weekend at Walnut. It was a great day at Walnut. The weather was perfect and I was able to yuk it up with a lot of dealers I know. I bought an oval cast iron roaster and this surveying compass that dates to around 1830. Edited June 21, 2023 by John Trier 1 Quote
Michael Rathberger Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 In response to John, we always go the day before (if possible) and hang out for a bit. Early admission is expensive at times. The first and last shows are usually the best times to do it for the monthly shows. Any dealer friends I've made set things aside for me. Saying that though, we were late to one of the shows, an open affair, no admission and I found the 1899 cake. You never know... Quote

I get there as early as possible (5:30) on Friday. A Dayton 50 changed hands on Thursday that was pre arranged. I have found a lot of fans at Walnut over the years, but not for a long time. A 6 blade Edison was the best. It was shown for sale on the AFCA site with no takers and wound up being a lot cheaper at Walnut. 2 Quote
Quentin Malzahn Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) I Bet those we’re working fans but instead they got turned into lamps. Very disappointing that those fans got turned into lamps especially the Emersons Edited June 21, 2023 by Quentin Malzahn Quote

Jamie Horner Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 I saw those sad lamp fans myself. The worst one I've ever run into was when I saw a Kidney Oscillator 😭 that had been destroyed into a lamp. But I did barely manage to pick up a handful of fans at the show. Quote
