Jim Kovar Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Hmm,... the brushes onmine are at the six andtwelve o'clock positions.And it sports a funky drumswitch in its base, justas does its AC counterpart.Mine,... both AC & DC,... only in my dreams.

Russ Huber Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) This auction fan it appears would date exclusively for 1902. I found a description of the Westinghouse DC desk fan in 1901 electrical trade, it is described as 110 volt and 23 lbs. This is the weight and intended voltage of 1899 introduction Westinghouse DC desk fan motor. It appears the first Westinghouse DC desk fan introduced in 99 was on the market 1899-01.
