These are fun. I have an odd German wind-up fan in fact. . .

A couple years ago a lot of - four? - 'Shoo Fly' fans sold DIRT CHEAP on auction... I forgot to bid, which is par for my course these days. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Those fans go way back. Probably before 1860.

There is on up for auction, but you all probably knew that already...
