Auction Finds (Emerson)

Found this crusty Emerson at a local online auction and after cleaning it up and putting a new cord on it runs flawlessly! Also found this cool Westinghouse Watt meter.. It has the instructions inside and was last inspected in 1919" No idea how it works but I like it.

Gotta love how well your fan has withstood the test of time. Wire, lube, elbow grease... That's all your Emerson needs and it'll outlast any of us!

That is a transitional 27646. The early run models for 1919 ended the use of the embossed speed numbers in the base and use of the "Ratchet cast" oscillator wheel. 

What is your serial number, please?

You fooled me. Your fan is a 24xxx type model and correct. I have a few 24646 models in storage with brass guard and cast hub blade. I should have known better as your base is characteristic of a 24xxx type model. Somewhere during the 1917 season Emerson not only added the carry handle, they went to a steel guard with new stamped badge,steel struts, and stamped blade hub. Enjoy your toys!

If the blades aren't bent ,runs good and your happy ,you did not pay too much.

When I started this a few years back I thought I paid too much.Compared to today they were a steal.

I have too many and want many more.That is a very clean fan you have.
