I'll probably "Try" and post all of my fans here but I probably will end up posting just the interesting ones since posting 400+ fans will probably be hard. Here is my 1902 stickmount pancake which is in all original condition. I have no plan on restoring it. This Manhattan Electric Supply Co. fan is much rarer than the Pancake. This is a MESCO battery fan that runs on 18 VDC and was made in 1911. Really neat and powerful little fan. Its made extremely well, probably better than a 10" Emerson from the same era. This is my 1920's Marelli collar oscillator. This fan wasnt sold in the USA and was made in Italy. Very cool fan. Here is my 1912 GE Big Motor Yoke. This fan is infamous because of its HUGE motor. Very strong fan and makes an awesome daily runner. Here is a mid 20's? Star Electric fan. This fan is not related to Star Rite fans. This fan is pretty rare. It has some interesting things on it like the ball joint neck piece and the very long motor housing. Pretty cool fan that was made New Jersey. I still cant believe I found it for $25 at the antique store. the motor housing This is my 16" 1906 Pancake . These fans were not sold for residential use but were made for stores and factories. These fans have a huge motor and throw a massive amount of air. Its a really great fan and has 5 speeds which is cool. Thats it for now. I'll post more tomorrow and get some pics of newer fans that I acquired.

Just out of curiosity- why do they call it the pancake? Because of the grille or something?

I have a pancake motor and base (no blades, no cage) I would sell.
