Got this a couple years back and it's been in pieces for a while. Finally got it all back together! The bullet was pretty dented up as they typically are. Had to hammer those out then sand it smooth. Paint was Rust-Oleum Burnished Amber. Left the original paint on the motor but repainted the rest. Cage was pretty bent up from a fall sometimes in its life. But he it is all back together and running!

That's about how mine looked before I started.

I kept mine as original as possible because it had amazing paint when I got it

That looks terrific! Great work!

Very nice! I like the design of the Silver Swan fans, they remind me of princess-style landline telephones due to how the base is shaped.

I remember seeing a Swan in the collector’s guide to electric fans and the guard was 45 degrees so I got inspired to do the same thing 

And thanks for the advice

Really nice job Patrick. That rear dome is quite impressive. I’d have no clue it was dented. Mine is in parts but you’ve inspired me to get back on it!

@Dave McManaman Break out your Swan Dave! Hopefully your back cone isn't all dented up. But if it is, I just turned those inward dents into little outward dents. I used the butt end of a screwdriver to push out the bulk of the dent then hammered outward the minor dents. Using an orbital sander, starting with 200 grit, I sanded the new outward dents away until all is smooth. Then sanded all the way to 3k grit then polished. It's a bit of work but I'm pleased.

 Great save & paint match !!!

Thanks Geoff! In person, the new paint is a little lighter and less red than the original, but I think it looks great on it!
