    This is an 8" blade, 3-speed Emerson Trojan.(c. 1911). Its body, basket and blades are all brass. At one time it was shiny, but someone in my household preferred the dark patina. Nonetheless, I still have it and use it.

    I had it rewired and lubricated. The bearings are worn due to age (~110 yrs.), so its not quiet. Energy efficient? - no way. Safe? - like a sink disposal, lawnmower, chain saw.... keep the kids fingers out of it.

    The small, all brass fans are not common. Buffed out, they're really pretty. Definitely a keeper!

      Brass blades and brass cage are very desirable. Great find.
