Beautiful All Original Emerson 16666 Lever Oscillator.  Yes, this is the original paint!!!  It has to be one of the best original condition Emersons that I have ever owned.  There are a few small nicks in the paint but so minor for the last 105 years.  These have become so desirable due to the early oscillating lever technology, large motor and impressive 6 blades with cast hub.  This fan is exactly the way it was found, I did a very detailed cleaning and servicing of the components to expose the original beauty and ensure smooth operation.  For safety, the head wire and power cord were replaced with period correct cloth covered cord.  This is a very smooth running fan and ready to provide another 105 years of service.
