Can you ID these fans ?? Need help prior to making an offer


Recommended Posts

Posted

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

I am not 100% on this, but my bet would be Knapp-Monarch.

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?

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.

I would be highly suspicious someone cut the oscillation worm gear off the back of the rotor shaft.

Thanks Russ,

I found that pic online as well during my search, but it was the only one I found.   Rare?  Or worthless….?

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.

Dime store fans. not worth much. My opinion is $15 each.

Kinda figured that.  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.
