Stuart Habitat 5-17-2014

Another round.. I got this stuff basically for nothing.. All the stuff to the left was in the scrap yard and was free including the antique Emerson. I wish I could find the black motors to the 36" can blades... Also two sets of blades that went to an antique..




The 36" cane blades were in the box that 52" blades would come in..



All this stuff was inside, and the Union was only $5 and the other stuff was $4..



I assume these would be the original blades to the Hunter Designers Choice.. I didn't know there was two of them last time.. Hopefully I can make one out of the parts.. As long as I can locate a flywheel..




Label says "Paddle", as it was a label sold under of sort..




The scrap yard where there was also alot of rusty Hunter Originals.. I took all the blades, which are in pretty rough shape, brackets are bent and some broken..




Stopped at the local Habitat on the way home and saw this Fasco

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..

[Andrew G.]

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.

[Adam D.]

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

[Adam D.]

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.

[Adam D.]

I've actually got a perfect sized box waiting that can fit alot of stuff in, so I have packing material and all that.. I'm ready..

[Jean Lemieux]

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!

[Adam D.]

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..

[Cole S.]

Awesome, awesome finds. I love everything, but especially the Paddle.

DONT LOOK TOO CLOSE AT THE PADDLE IT'S MINE WHEN ADAMS DONE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matt R.]

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.
