12" Emerson Type 19646 Desk Fan.  In the market for a good daily running fan that will even look great when not in use?  This 12" Desk fan was Manufactured by Emerson Electric in 1914.  This was a common residential fan during that time period and 114 years later, it is still running strong.  This example still retains a nice original finish.  The brass has been polished at some point in the past and could be lacquered to maintain a rich shine or let it age naturally.  The head wire has been replaced with a thick rubber insulated wire at some point in the past as well.  The fan has three positions on the switch but I don't notice any change in the speeds.  With summer around the corner, this would make a wonderful air mover.
