The paint on your motor cover around the brass ID plate looks like they may have taped/masked the plate in place when restoring ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 16" models listed are 73648 models. Maybe I missed something? The 1930 catalogue supports a 29646 model. Yet, your 29648 fan and a few others like it exist. In 1931 Emerson dropped the brass wings for steel. I've long suspected a lot of incomplete and inaccurate information on Emerson. A lot of people don't understand for example that a 73648 can have an earlier Parker blade than a 29648. There have been too many of them in good to excellent original condition for it to be a fluke. I also don't believe, for example, the entirety of the 19XXX run spans just 1914-18. That covers a stretch from long tag BB/BC with cast hub to rectangular tag BB/SC with steel hub, and a handle on the motor. That's a lot of changes in 4 years while they were dragging out single changes in other series over years. Two examples of 73 below, overhead shot is mine showing the very good condition finish on body, blades, and tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone must have got them out there looking in. Until we get catalogue or electrical trade information that extends beyond 1924 through 1927, I don't blow hot air about what I don't know for sure. The Emerson BUILT TO LAST pyramid badge trademark was filed June 9, 1925. They were using the trademark later 25 during motor season. I would speculate at this point the pyramid badge was in use in 1926. Just when the 73xxx models were implemented to the fan motor line........?? I need proof. The 1928 Emerson fan motor catalogue supports the 73xxx models. If you want to prove your point about the 19xxx models, strut your stuff and start posting factual documentation and images to support your opinion.

Nicholas Denney Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 My other big question, what's the significance of the K, N, T prefixes on the serials of the 29/73 fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
