Circa 1911 12" GE Big Motor Yoke BMY Brass Blade Desk/Wall Mount Fan Restored
$550.00
Circa 1911 General Electric “Big Motor Yoke” (BMY) fan with convertible neck for wall mounting. Introduced with GE’s 1909 model year offerings, the “Big Motor Yoke” design marked a significant evolution in their residential desk fans. This example represents the final and most refined iteration of the BMY, benefiting from years of incremental improvements. The result is a well-balanced, user-friendly fan that is especially well suited for consistent daily use. Acquired from a fellow collector who completed the restoration. The cast iron components have been refinished, while the brass has been polished, giving the fan a clean, well-presented appearance without losing its character. The oilers have been serviced with new felt wicking and fresh 20W oil. The fan operates on three distinct speeds and runs smoothly on 120V AC. A strong combination of function and form—ideal as a dependable daily runner, yet equally appealing as a display piece.
