As usual Steve, amazing how there is no substitute for great detailed photos. Fantastic that these clear images exist.
 

This is an 1899-1900 model, likely their DC Standard of that year. Their AC Standard was that other model you showed in a separate post with the curly-cue lower cover, shaped more like an Emerson CF-20. Note that both the AC and the DC models used a two-blade half-post bracket mounting system that was only used on these two models before Dayton changed them to conform to new standards. It couldn’t have been in production more than one or two seasons.

Andrew, do you actually have this exact model? I thought it had not yet been found before. The general design of this Standard was used over two model changes. This being the first, it has some unique features. The entire lower cover rotates with the blade hub “bulb” fixed to it. Unique brackets and mounts. The second generation of this Standard, which uses the same castings and ornamental sidebands,  looks similar but came as a mostly 4-blade model with the lower face cover fixed in place with only the hub that turned.

Neat, neat fan.
