John Landstrom Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 Have someone offering these up to me. I’m not familiar with any of these. I will be asking for more pics. Trying to identify what he’s offering and what a potential value might be for the lot. I fully understand that condition is everything, unfortunately this is all I have so far. So identifying what’s pictured below will get me farther in considering making an offer. If you want to make guesstimates on worth that’s fine too. see pics below Quote
Russ Huber Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 Marketed by Montgomery Ward, manufactured by ? 🙂 1950's Era Small 8 4 Blade Montgomery Ward Alternating Current Fan 115V 60 Cycle - Etsy Quote
Russ Huber Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 I am not 100% on this, but my bet would be Knapp-Monarch. Quote
John Landstrom Posted June 28, 2024 Author Posted June 28, 2024 Russ, So what you’re saying is that the base, and maybe the motor are most likely a Knapp-Monarch - but as I review the pic the cage is definitely different. Frankenfan ? Any of ‘em worth anything? Quote

Frankenfan ? Any of ‘em worth anything? This fan pictured below is all Knapp-Monarch marketed by Montgomery Wards. I can't see the back of the fan, but it appears to be sans gearbox and oscillation linkage. The other fans are common rather abundant Bersted and Dominion fans. Quote
Russ Huber Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 I would be highly suspicious someone cut the oscillation worm gear off the back of the rotor shaft. Quote
John Landstrom Posted June 28, 2024 Author Posted June 28, 2024 Thanks Russ, I found that pic online as well during my search, but it was the only one I found. Rare? Or worthless….? Quote

Anthony Lindsey Posted June 29, 2024 Posted June 29, 2024 Here a Montgomery Ward fan I found at the flea market. Cleaned it up and rewired it. Runs great. Too bad the blade is rusted. 20240629_103914.mp4 1 Quote

I am looking for a motor that would mount to a slag glass base I just acquired. Was the only reason I even wanted the info. I don’t believe the K&M is worth much either. He’s asking $200 which is way high in my book. Quote
