**FAN DESCRIPTION**: Edison 9″ 4BB/BC C-frame bipolar 2.8V DC antique battery fan (ca. 1899). This rare fan is in 100% ORIGINAL CONDITION with FANTASTIC patina including field coils, motor windings, cage, 4-wing brass blade with cast brass hub, brushes, paint, pinstriping, etc. The original stamped brass EDISON MFG. CO. motor tag (serial #8176) and “Thomas A Edison” trademark signature on the C-frame in very good condition.
Also included is an Edison Type Q battery jar (ca. 1900) with Edison trademark logo signature on the lid and an Edison oil bottle. This later model C-frame has a 12-pole motor so only ~2.8V DC is needed to run the fan. We did nothing to this fan except oil it before shooting the video and it runs great. This is one my dad’s favorite “Top 10” fans from his 30+ yr collection that he refused to sell when he was alive. This is a very good original condition example of a rare fan that will be a great addition to any early electric fan collection. See video.
