I was lucky enough to pick this up at the fanfair auction.  The pics with cage and badge were provided to me ( not included with my auction fan)20240804_112238.thumb.jpg.db3b6b4985005588240a529f2d8b30e3.jpg20240804_112245.thumb.jpg.a50f3cafd7375ea26560bfe8294fe3f7.jpg3598651234419697884.thumb.jpg.35f61c2fefd3ba8382ffe29857ec4634.jpg1221393098757670006.thumb.jpg.3962c1a17246ba5a0026907be02f5977.jpg3660211036742343213.thumb.jpg.f3c1528dcf3369665bbe42d2961281d5.jpg

Jim, 

Nice. Is there a better shot of the tag?

I have an original Tiffany, blade, cage, and base. It’s not like the battery motor. It runs. Speeds are changed by rotating the brushes on back. What’s odd is behind the blade were two tubes of mercury at 180 degrees apart. They were somehow relevant to starting the fan at the right spot. Mine is missing those. But according to my motor guy, it starts 90% of the time. 
 

Despite Tiffany was his real name, I bet Louis Comfort Tiffany took him to Court.

Bill completed a cage from a picture of one in a French museum and got it running.  Runs best on DC ~80v.  20240823_082919.thumb.jpg.038ea133d0a048b16f1c48ac043515f2.jpg20240823_082932.thumb.jpg.a5ab8ed4bd9c9b96d69e2a2d0d35c231.jpg
