Was this possible originally made for a fan? Seems a bit off, but I do remember ealry 3-wing illustrations...

That's what I thought! This is on a what I think is a horizontally opposed hot air engine... But I only saw a photo. Wonder if it was homemade? Never seen anything like it.

There is a 3wing Vorlatec, I used to have one, was in absolutely but worked awful shape so I gave it away.

Toy motor fan blade?  What is the size?

I posted the only pic I have in the 'Other Collectibles' category.

       Is that hub in your photo slotted for a key, do you suppose?

You read my thoughts.  I have the motor.  But I think the blade hub is too big.

Good research!

This is an Essex toy hot air engine (with a cooling fan) made by the W.H. Smith Mfg. Co.. It was not made as a fan.

I knew who to ask. THANK YOU! I'll have to research these, first I've ever seen. Are they uncommon?

Uncommon is a good choice of words. Uncommon but not rare.
