Electric fans from the 1900s through the late 1950s were pricey, so when people bought them for the home, they wanted the models to last for many seasons. 'Early electric fans were made well and built to endure,' explains Mark Neeley, owner of, an online resource.
The motor retains it's original finish but I did have to repaint the base. This is what is known among collectors as a partners desk fan or a double head fan. You've seen the Partners Desks where two people sit at the same desk facing each other and each have a set of drawers that pull open from his own side.
This is a Model C table top fan offered by The Lake Breeze Fan Company of Chicago, IL. This fan is powered by a Sterling engine enclosed in the motor housing just behind the blade. It has a small 2 cylinder motor and works by expansion and contraction of air. There is a compression piston and a displacer piston.
I have only just seen it myself. It's my husband's birthday present to me.
Vintage Viking Paul, Interesting you should use the phrase 'vintage viking'. I recently purchased a 1980 35' Convertible Sportfish, aptly named Vintage Viking.
This particular example has a Western Electric motor tag making it that much more scarcer than the examples with the normal Hamilton Beach tag. I restored this fan and replated all parts that were plated originally. It's a nice looking fan, especially from the side view. I like the way the blade and cage hangs way out front. Notice the blade has a very deep pitch to it.
This is the back side of the heater shown above. Very beautiful. This view shows the front base section of the heater. The Westinghouse company name is engraved into the base with the words 'Cozy Glow'. I recently acquired this heater but it has no manufacturer's name on it.
Summit has a 16' 2200 cfm fan for around 90 bucks, along with a thermostatic wiring harness for 45 that kicks in at 185 and off at 175, does this sound like something that will cool my little stock 289 automatic 67 w/ a/c? Oh yeah.in louisiana. There are a lot of us Fox guys who use the DC Controller, I have had mine for over 2 years on my 93 which is also my daily driver. It works great in traffic with the A/C on in the Texas heat.

Bottles must be in near mint condition with no case wear and bright vivid painted labels (not faded). ACL bottles were produced from the 1930s until the 1970s. Here's a few bottles with a 'Southern Belle' type of theme. I have most of the bottles with Southern Belle ladies on the label but I am still looking for examples that I don't have. More Southern Belle theme.
Gentlemen, If you will allow me to join in your discussion for a moment, I might have something of value to add in forming and propagating a Viking sportfish owners club. The key to reaching other Viking owners is to have a website, a forum or a club that tops major search engines, so other Viking owners can find you. That work has already been done for you. Nearly 14,000 lines or proprietary code underlie YachtForums, putting us on top of 30,000 keywords in major search engines. As an example, try Googling various Viking related keywords, such as.
This fan has seen very little run time. The commutator and bearings have very little wear. After a little disassembly, cleaning, lubing, and reassembly, I applied power to the C&C motor for the first time in no telling how many years. She fired right up and ran just as sweetly as the day she was first assembled.
Old bottle collecting when I was a child is what got me started in this business. I've been at it for over 40 years now. Our most recent Antique Fan Show and Swap Meet was a blast. We had over 100 collectors here from over 15 different states. Literally hundreds of antique and vintage fans were on display and on the sales tables. The next annual Antique Fan Show and Swap Meet will be held at our fan shop here in Aiken, South Carolina on Thursday, Friday and Saturday April 25, 26, and 27, 2019.
This view shows the cut out vents of the top section of the heater just a bit better than the previous view. This is probably my most favorite of all of the bulb heaters. The claw feet are just awesome as well as all of the other intricate details of this item. I would really like to find out more about this company and other models that may have been available. This is a rarely seen 2 bulb heater offered by Westinghouse Electric. The entire base and reflector shield is nickel plated. A very attractive heater indeed.

I have examined the switches, sockets, and wiring and have determined that this heater is probably from the 1910 period. It appears to be factory made but I see no evidence of it ever having a manufacturer's tag referencing voltage, model number, or location of the maker. This is the only example I have ever seen of this type heater. Notice it has three bulbs but only two switches. The left switch operates the center bulb and the right switch operates the two outer bulbs. With this combination the operator can burn one, two, or all three bulbs, which ever is desired. This unit is wired both series and parallel to achive this combination.
I carefully measure each attribute of the original oiler and draw a blueprint of it, then go to the lathe with a piece of brass stock and machine away everything that doesn't look like the original to make a perfect reproduction. Compare the two side by side. The top oiler is an original. Here you can see the detail of each section. Again the original oiler on the right and the one I made on the left.
They allowed a light bulb and a fan to be plugged in a single light socket at the same time. We have a similar item today some of us refer to as a 3 to 1 plug.
LORD DARLINGTON. (Sees a fan lying on the table.) And what a wonderful fan!
A nice side view. Here is the motor tag in it's original merely polished condition. Above is a Hamilton Beach fan motor. These are fairly scarce. This particular example has a Western Electric motor tag making it that much more scarcer than the examples with the normal Hamilton Beach tag. I restored this fan and replated all parts that were plated originally.

Looking down on the fan you see that there is no motor tag. The manufacturer's name, model number, serial number, and motor information is located on the badge. This is one of my favorites of all of the chrome fans.
Vornado Vintage Fan
She's going thru a refit & upgrade now (the Viking, not the wife). We will use Vintage Viking as a weekend retreat while we restore her and get her ready for extended cruising. I've already had Vintage Viking out striped bass fishing and she has proven to be a comfortable fish platform as well as a capable cruiser. She handled 25+MPH winds and 8' seas on her shake down cruise with no problems and provided a stable and dry ride. I'm sure that we will enjoy many years with this Convertible.

The rotor may require shimming if the movement is over 0.125 inch. Remove the bottom plate and the cover to the oscillating mechanism, if applicable, to examine the enclosed components. Check all electrical wiring and connections; the fan may need to be partially or completely rewired. Dismantle the Fan Take pictures or make drawings during disassembly to make reassembly easier -- you can even use taped-on tags labeled numerically in the order the pieces are removed. Remove the fan blade and set it aside.
This may explain why collectors can still find them in plentiful supply. • Major manufacturers of stylish electric fans were General Electric, Emerson, Westinghouse, and Robbins & Myers. • Materials used included cast iron, copper, steel, and brass. In the 1920s up to the early '30s, fans were black and unadorned. In the early to mid-1930s, fans were influenced by the Art Deco style, and began to be produced in other colors.
