There's also a Hunter Original, 1970s era, Chestnut Brown non-reversible model, in Parent Trap (the later one, featuring Lindsay Lohan) that had a big part in the camp scene of the movie. (:

At first I thought the pole mounted ones looked like plastic Emersons, maybe 2148's judging from the size of the motor housings, but watching it again I think I'm wrong.
The Original's brackets have obviously been modified.

I also remember a bright brass, four bladed fan in the newspaper stand. I think I remember it looking like either a Zephyr or Delta II?

The Original's brackets have obviously been modified. They look like generic AB 42" fans, probably GE vent, to me. You can see a standard switch housing and the motor housings just sitting on top of the poles. Yes, quite obviously. They're much longer to allow someone to actually hang onto something lol. |

I always wondered about those pole fans in Newsies, saw 'em when the film first came out. There were real antique fans built that way. Very good shot of one at 1:18 and I have no idea, they're probably something a prop shop put together using modern 36" spinners. Also note the gaslights and combo gas/electric fixtures - for those who don't know, these were common around 1900-1915 or so, with gaslights pointing up as most did, and electric pointing down, usually at an angle. Gas was cheap and reliable, electricity was unreliable but new and fashionable.

Yes there were real models like that back in the early years of the turn of the century. They were called column fans. Most ran on electricity but there were some that ran on water or by crank. Most column fans are extremely rare and fetch very high prices. Thats probably why Disney had to resort to making their own column fans. |
