The Emerson works.. I put oil in it, and it started spinning real slow, I let set on the washing machine plugged in for a bit, and came back out and it was spinning at normal speed..

Oil-bath motors can...really only run properly in the absolute vertical orientation.

I'm very jealous of this haul. I really, really want the Hunters, the Emerson (that's my favorite non-ornate antique), and especially the PADDLE!
I've never seen a 48" Gold Line before.

One of the Hunters Had an "H" for the serial.. According to the chart it could be 1978 or 1959..

I've never seen one of these types of motored Union/Evergo fans labeled Gold Line before.. From what I've gathered Gold Line is just a relabel of some early Unions and Evergos, and they are still around..
We could possibly work out a trade with the Hunters.. I still would like to get the Casablanca New Orleans out of the way.. I'm still waiting on that, plus the Homesteads..

Gold Line is the model of the pointed motors. They were imported via Banvil and Envirofan. Union was the factory for the earlier ones.
I would like that too. I am also waiting.

Very good grab on the middle size Union. My favorite size for metal blade fans. I never seen the label Paddle before. It might explain the rare size. It's the only fan in good condition you got.
The short ivory blades goes to a late 1920's Westinghouse.
It's always useful to have a lot of extra blades, brackets and canopies.

Sweet finds! That Emerson would make a sweet restoration project, strip it down, refinish the blades with a nice walnut finish, paint the fan itself black with gold pinstripes, and you've got yourself something you could make big bucks on on eBay!

That Emerson is actually the same model I found back in 1998, out of one of those Airport bought neighborhoods... I remember it lying on the bed of the master bedroom in this very old house back in some woods.. I remember seeing the large hook above where it hung.. It was white, and in very good shape.. I brought it home and it worked great.. Unfortunately the mother use to do evil things to my fans, and it ended up being junked most likely..

Love all of this!!! I forget where I got the flywheel to my Naples fan. If I locate that info, I'll let you know. They also carry flywheels for all of the Hunter models.
