...'Tis be the only surviving photo: 🤔😁

Not brass, but some sort of coated Aluminium.

Kinda looks like brass as it is...

Use of a mini master copy needed.

"NFS" is a term used for my custom master copies.

"NFS stands for Not For Sale version.

A simple pin creates the central hub.

I then select a motor...

...Runs balanced and very quiet.

3 volt.

Blade given a bit of roll at the trailing edge to help air movement

and further reduce any noise.

...Six blade, slightly larger than its four blade counterpart.

(To accommodate 2 more blades making 6)

Construction: unified (unibody) rivetless with integral center hub.

In other words, it's all one unit.

...GEMERSON exclusive.

After some thought, I decided when it comes to painting

I will attempt to try out hand painted design/ decoration.

Below are some designs:

The "GEMERSON Blade Flowers" seems promising. 🤔💡

I will try it out on a small painted metal test component first.

Will be interesting to see it translated from drawing to painted design.

...Had a day off yesterday,

Tried my hand at "casting" using the same recycled

plastic heating & pressing technique I use to make my

Isolators / switch assemblies.

RESULTS: 

2 smaller & one Large circular discs, they have a slight dome.

...not good at computer art but here's the general idea:

BTW, I got my inspiration from VIDRIO slag base fans.

Only, instead of glass, mine is built from recycled plastic.

...And, here we are:

Last PIC is a virtual version of the finished fan.

Due to recycled construction,

each will be unique in pattern and color.

...Ad:

"Have you ever gotten a fan and all looks good,

except, what's this?!

The front badge has a crater / dent/ bends!

Well, try WESTINGHOUSE new Flex-o-ramic badge fans"

(Coming Soon).

...

General idea is a badge that can take a hit.
