  While wandering flea markets looking for nixies, or things I can put nixies 
in, or things I can take apart to use in a clock, I came across an actual bona 
fide bargain for something completely different that I had always wanted. A 
vintage fan! I thought some of you might be interested (I know at least one 
other person who likes both, so there must be more right?) so here are some 
photos. Amazingly the fan actually worked. It looked like it was actively being 
used in a carpenters workshop right up until they decided to sell it. It was 
spotted with paint and choked with sawdust, but mechanically it had been looked 
after. I took it apart, cleaned it up and re-wired it (the head wire was 
original and fraying). The only thing that doesn't work is the oscillator, and 
I can't find any way in to that.


  BTW, the thing blows a gale, even at half speed - yes the speed selector 
works, though the lever has broken off. These photos were taken over several 
weeks:
