I wouldn't sit the bottoms of any spinners on the bare concrete like that.. I always put cloth material under spinners like that to preserve the original finish as much as possible.. I would think those industrials would be from the 70s.. I don't think those numbers coordinate any date.... Surely if one has 93" in it.. Photo of them on the concret was from the Craigslist ad. As to the numbers they don't. One says 06193 and the other says 06183. I know they are deffinaly old. Hell the motors alone weight in at 35 pounds, heavy duty cast iron @.@ (same as hunter original basicly)

Adam probably meant the fans we see on the last pictures of the first page.

so ive been busy this week. finally got not 1 but 2 project fans done!!! fist off many may remember i found 2 of these early unions. well i decided to sell on and then finally work on the paint job for the one i was keeping. shown here is what the fans looked like. this is the second one now owned by another collector. and heres mine now after paint tags my second project was this R-52 that has been sitting apart for 9 months. cleaned her out real good before painting. she received a new set of solid wood wing tip blades from a hunter 1886. after paint tag (still need to get the little bit of red paint off of it)

The Original looks great!

update 3/24/2017 hello again, starting off i realized i never tested my 2 chadwich fans that are new in box testing after i ran the diehl to see what it was drawing amp wise since its not listed on the motor. also painted the switch cap i made for it last weekend i went to Georgia for this beauty. r-52 in original paint. only plan to make a switch cap for it and touch up paint where its needed. on my travles i also found 2 sets of original blades. tag cap i made. needs paint now a few days ago i went to a local habitat i haven't been to in a while and made out great. 52" white/brass original motor, 36" AB original complete and a 38" fasco Charleston original testing fasco testing videos of these fans and more HERE
