Russ Huber Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) I restored this Menominee tab and auctioned it years ago. I am fairly confident a member was the buyer, but I can't recall who or where it went to anymore? It came back to memory with the recent staghorn I originally restored years ago David is presently selling. I thought I would post the old ebay images of this little guy I had on flash drive as it has its original enamel and head cord as found. The seller walked toward me with it hanging by one finger around the guard ring with it swinging. It was a very tense moment for me as I was freaking out she would drop it. I am pretty confident I restored the tag. Enjoy. Edited July 1, 2023 by Russ Huber 1 Quote
Stephen Chew Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 That's a beautiful restoration Russ. Menomonee made some of the very best little fans. Quote
Russ Huber Posted July 1, 2023 Author Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Thank you for the kind words. Actually, I thought I would post it not so much for pats for the restoration, I remember my blood pressure went up when the lady came out from the back room with it. I have never seen one in such nice original condition, both enamel & head cord. I am sorry, but I can't remember who won it to credit. I bought it in Stockton, MN. Just a little one-horse town.

Mel Lagarde Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Menominee fans were well made and distinct. Nice post for us, Russ. Thank you, Mel Quote
