 Before I get into any specific details, The store you see pictured is known to man as Deluxe Toy and Hobby. My family knows the owner fairly well and I told him last fall of my own personal hobby of ceiling fan collecting. There are 3 Emerson 1895 Series ceiling fans (w/interlocking blade arms) which follow a pattern of brown, white, and brown on the main level. The one you can see clearly is the one that greets you when you walk in the store and that is the one I will be getting. Get this: The owner is replacing it with a NIB 1895 in white since he told me he had a spare one. I went in the store last month and he told me that the first brown one supposedly croaked. He said he went to rev it up and it would not rotate. I offered to take it off him and he recently emailed me to come get it. WORST CASE SCENARIO: It would be good for parts. Could it be that it needs a new capacitor, perhaps? |

Aside from the fans, this shop got some cool stuff.

Glad you're getting the fan! I'm sure it's a simple fix, don't see too many that die completely but like you said it would be good for parts in the worst case.

Not sure. The capacitor is always an option to check, sometimes it can even be the pullchain stuck between clicks or the reverse switch (if applicable) stuck halfway. Even if they don't use the pullchains or reverse they could have unintentionally been bumped or half-pulled by someone or something. Those are just some of the first things I usually check...

Yeah, I'd bet it's a simple fix. Glad the owner is letting you have the fan! And like you said, it would be good for parts if nothing else.

Well, the fan is now mine!
I plugged it into the wall and it seems to actually run!
When I went to the store to claim it, I saw its successor the white 1895, which was installed NIB, cranking out the air!
It's always cool to hang a brand new vintage ceiling fan nowadays.
Get this: the box that the 1895 came in had pictures of various other 1895s with ornate faceplates, which seem to be rare. The instruction manual was saved and was printed February of 1983.
