Ugly fans I bought today

I picked up a 29646, 27648, 24666, Western Electric (r&m), and an early split-phase Skeletal.  They’re pretty rough.  The 24 and 27 are missing parts, and some of the motors are seized.  Might be good for some parts or an ambitious project.

That S3 cast base stationary with the funky + pattern cast pivot is a good catch. Not many of those out there.  Manufactured no later than 13. The motor patent was filed in Jan. of 12, so it could have been on the market in 12.  If you could please share the serial #, or tag image at your convenience, it would be appreciated

Not sure who to credit, but some of the later S4s had that funky + cast pivot. It would be nice to know if Century marketed both style cast pivots, or the + cast pivot came later?

I had a similar haul on Saturday.  I was more excited about the clock than the fans.

If the Skeletal and 71666 don't excite you, I'll gladly take them off your hands 🤣

Patrick and Arjun are on it.  The other GE is a three star.   Grandpa worked 33 years for Coca Cola.  That’s the same style clock that hung in the office.  I’ve always wanted one.
