Michael Bouthiller Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) I got it from a auction house/antique mall for $30 and is it DC or a universal motor? Edited July 30 by Michael Bouthiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Lindsey Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 You can test for brass by putting a magnet to the blade. Like a refrigerator magnet. If it sticks it is steel. If it doesn't it's brass or aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Bouthiller Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Did these fans have a switch or is it a plug and play fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Lindsey Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 It had a on/off switch that goes in one of the 3 holes in the base. Probably the middle one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Lawson Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Brass doesn't get surface rust - that's an easy way to tell if you don't have a magnet handy :) The ad Russ has in his post is your fan, same badge and all. Introduced in 1923 and likely made for at least a year or two, as they turn up occasionally. I've seen a few in this area over the years. The spoked blade guard came out in '23.
