1914 12" Emerson Type 19666 Desk Fan Original

From the Prairie House Collection, assembled by a dedicated fan enthusiast and collector, comes this, circa 1914 12" Emerson type 19666 desk fan original.  Proportion, design and reliability do not get any better than this large motor 6 blade Emerson. This is the last Emerson stationary model to feature their impressive cast hub 6 wing blade. The smooth "step" base design is also in its final year production with this model.  This example features the original finish that just needs to be cleaned and waxed to reveal a beautiful shine.  There is very minor chipping on the base edge and couple on the motor.  Brass has been polished in the past and has started to develop a nice patina. The head wire and power cord have been replaced with a short and stiff cord.   This fan runs very good on its 3 speeds as intended there is ever so slight vibration that would be corrected by simply balancing the blade slightly.    There is a short to ground and the switch is cracked in a few places, but it doesn’t impact the operation of the fan.  With a little attention this will be a great fan to use as a daily runner.

Dimensions:  H17" x W13" x D8"
