Vintage Robbins Myers working black 3 speed fan made in Memphis, TN
Tested and working fine January 10, 2021, (2 photos above taken with the fan running). This vintage WORKING Robbins Myers 3-speed fan, model 22004A, was made in Memphis, TN, sometime between 1946 and 1983, so may well be an antique. In any case, it is a warrior, or perhaps beast is the better term! The fan weighs close to 18 ½ pounds, stands 20″ tall, and boasts a blade guard cage that measures 18″ across. Because of its weight and construction, its 4 blades spin very quietly on either low, medium, or high setting, drawing about 150 watts in operation. The fan housing is black-but if you look closely, you’ll see that it and fan blade are speckled. From some long ago ceiling paint job. Appear on the upper surfaces only, and are so neatly uniform that they appear to have been intentionally done. With respect to condition issues, the. 2-prong plug and cord from wall to base have been replaced and are not original, while the original cloth-insulated cord that runs from the base to the fan motor has about 1 inch of electrical tape over a fray in the cord (see photograph, close to motor housing) so it too should probably be replaced. The oscillation mechanism to turn the fan housing from side to side in operation does NOT work, although its shaft does turn. There is some dulling of the paint that would likely shine up with wax or furniture polish, and some grime in crevices. Angle of fan head may be adjusted with a wingnut on the base. This fan pushes a great volume of air. A separate mounting plate on the bottom could have been used to attach the fan to a mating ceiling mount (ceiling mount not included). Please see my photographs as they complete the description of this sturdy, durable fan. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Kitchen & Home\Small Appliances\Electric Fans”.
