i came across a marelli from the 1950s on facebook from a thai collector, the marelli had upper and lower canopies exactly like SMC beehives! could it be that Marelli first introduced beehive canopies? that would be an interesting question! for those who have facebook, this picture is found in a page called "Electric fan Collection พัดลมติดเพดาน" www.facebook.com/ElectricFanCollectionPhadlmTidPhedan?hc_location=stream |

This picture was posted by FredTan from Singapore on the other forum.
I think these Marellis are older than the 1950's. I would say more 1930's but they could be as late as the 1950's. This model originally came out in 1925. I'm pretty sure they would be the ones that came up with this style of canopies.

I would assume that the canopies are not original. But those fans look great!

I've seen theses same upper canopies on other pictures of this Marelli model. 1930's version and up. Same version as above but in a larger blade span. Yes the control is very long. I guess it was to accommodate a transformer.  This is what the older generation of this same model looks like. Only the canopies changed. This one would be most likely mid to late 1920's.  Note: I do not own these pictures. |
