Description

16" DIAMETER BLADE - ROBBINS & MYERS TRIPOD BASE "LOLLIPOP" OSCILLATOR A.C. ELECTRIC FAN - PATENTED DEC.
26, 1893 - FAN
MOTOR WORKS FINE - NO LOLLIPOP
An all original ROBBINS & MYERS - SPRINGFIELD - OHIO A.C. "Lollipop" oscillator electric fan with a 16" dia. fan blade -
with a tripod base.  One of two stamped brass maker's plates cites a PATENT date of DECEMBER 26, 1893.
The brass "LOLLIPOP" oscillator stick and flat disk assembly is lackin
g - along with the weight, but its mounting spindle is present as is shown.  We have been told that a accurately made "LOLLIPOP" piece is being reproduced and can be had to finish off this fan, but we are not sure as we are not serious  'fan people.'.
The stamped brass flag w/ ROBBINS & MYERS name and logo cage BADGE is broken off out of the center of the fan
cage where it was once braised.  These may be reproduced and available - but we are not certain.  As this exact brass fan blade cage and badge was used in later more common round base ROBBINS & MYERS, a purist can more easily find and use one to finally bring this fan up to snuff all the way if so desired
Entire fan stands 21" TALL and the fan blade cage is 17" WIDE.  The fan also measures10" from front
of cage to back of the motor.   The fan weighs 26 POUNDS.
THIS FAN WORKS FINE and is activated by the ALL ORIGINAL functioning early form shuttle switch
as shown underneath.  Electric cording appears to be original but has the tan colored outer cloth surround worn
away.
Wear, scratches and paint discoloring is all original and is consistent with age and use.  Please
see all photos as they are part of the description.  Some remnant of gold pin-stripping is
still evident throughout the fan assembly, but worn.
Set screw to pedestal support below fan
motor is old but may not be original. See appropriate photo.
Shipped with FAN BLADE PACKED SEPARATELY and FAN BLADE CAGE and cast iron CAGE SUPPORT BRACKETS removed and packed
separately.  Over-all box will clearly be oversized, or if too big - shipped in two boxes.
AS SHOWN ABOVE -  BEING ELECTRICAL -

EBAY SELLER'S SHIPPING SURCHARGE.
Shipments however made EAST of the MISSISSIPPI will likely cost less and appropriate refund if such is due will be made for any excess shipping payments that have been made - after the fan ships. With the cage and blade needing to be packed separately, the resulting box will be rather large and large shipments, if sent to California and West of the Mississippi, always cost substantially more than shipments made East of Mississippi River.  AND this fan may need to be shipped in TWO BOXES.
NO SHIPPING TO PO (POST OFFICE) BOXES FOR THIS FAN - ONLY SHIPPING TO A STREET ADDRESS.
The cage support brackets and "Lollipop" Oscillator brackets are thin cast iron and can easily crack - so we need to pack these fan components separately and especially carefully.
WE DO NOT SHIP BY UPS as they rip open boxes insured at 0.00 or more seeking to deny shipments containing antiques. ALL SHIPMENTS NORMALLY MADE THROUGH USPS - BUT WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEND BY FEDERAL EXPRESS GROUND INSURED - which requires a STREET ADDRESS.  NO OVERSEAS SALES.
GA STATE residents must pay
8% STATE SALES TAX.
GOOD LUCK!  WE COMBINE SHIPPING!
