Circa 1911 12" Emerson 14666 6 bladed desk fan. This is a beautiful all original example of the final "big motor" Emerson desk fan. These fans are highly sought after by collectors for their large cast iron motors, cast hub 6 blade and step base design. This comes fresh from a long-time collector’s collection. The body of the fan (base, yoke, and motor) is all original and display a glass like beautiful rich black japaning. There are a couple of spots on the back of the motor housing where chips to the finish have been brush touched. Wide lip at the bottom of the base dislays some crazing to the finish as shown in the photos. Overall, these slight imperfections add to the character of the fan and are barely noticeable. The brass cage and blade have been cleaned, revealing a beautiful patina. The wiring has been upgraded, and the fan has been fully serviced. Fan runs strong yet quiet. There are 3 distinct speeds.
