THIS IS A VERY RARE EARLY 20TH C ROBBINS & MYERS JR 10 4 BLADE OSCILLATING FAN MODEL 1004C. IT IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL WITH THE ORIGINAL FABRIC CORD THAT IS FRAYED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. IT HAS ORIGINAL BLACK PAINT AND HAS THE ORIGINAL PAPER LABEL THAT WAS ON THE BOTTOM. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE WITH A PAPER LABEL THAT I HAVE SEEN. THIS IS PRE 1920 AS THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THE MARK OF PAT PENDING. I HAVE NOT RUN THE FAN SECONDARY TO THE CORD SO CANNOT GUARANTEE HOW IT WORKS. ROBBINS & MYERS WAS FOUNDED IN 1878 AND ADDED THE PRODUCTION OF MOTOR POWERED FANS IN 1897. THIS IS A VERY EARLY MODEL 1004C. FOUND IN SPRINGFIELD OHIO MANY YEARS AGO WHICH IS WHERE R & M WAS LOCATED. A 1916 ADVERTISEMENT IS SHOWN IN THE LAST PHOTO. This item is in the category “Antiques\Primitives”. The seller is “abone” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
