David Kilnapp Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Good morning friends. I'm working on restoring a fan for my young friend Jack. The fan is an Emerson, circa 1940's (I believe). The motor tag is pretty beat up as seen below. The rivets that hold this tag in place are not accessible from the inside of the case so they are not easily pushed out so that the motor tag can be removed. The information on the motor tag was buffed out rather than saved as seen below. Is there someone in the club that can make a decal that has the original information on the motor tag as seen in the first picture so that the information can be preserved? Just wondering...

Steven P Dempsey Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Looks like it was a 32 date code on the tag = 1952 (add 20) The later tags were zinc & prone to corrosion. Might find a clean original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Andersen Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Does it have any embossing or is this one of their smooth tags with just the paint over the zinc? If it is embossed even slightly still I can probably fix it. Edited February 8, 2022 by Trevor Andersen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kilnapp Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Completely smooth, Trevor, so there was no way to repaint it like I do with other motor tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Hudson Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Donald Coleman can make you a new tag that looks original to the fan. I’ve seen some of the later Emerson aluminum badges he’s done. Remarkable! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
