I purchased this fan that was found in an old barn. It was sold to me it's not working because there was no chord. The fan was made by General Electric sometime in the early 1920s. The cage was broken and everything was kind of stuck and it was in very poor condition. I took this fan apart and meticulously restored everything from the inside out. Several pieces were missing that had to be sourced from other fans like the brackets that hold the blade guard on and some of the screws. I spent weeks polishing and cleaning everything right down to every thread of every screw. New wicks where placed in the oil cup as well as new oil. the osculator was completely disassembled and all of the old parts removed and everything cleaned and Polished right down to the last gear. New grease was placed in the osculator unit. I replace all of the old wiring with a reproduction wire from the period as well as a reproduction Acorn plug. Years of rust and tarnish were removed and new 5x paint on everything was used. A new felt bottom was installed. The multi speed switch was removed disassembled restored and reinstalled. everything was adjusted and tested and it's now as new as it was when it was originally sold.
