The Emerson motor tag lists it as a 60 cycle 115 volt 1.1 amp motor. It carries model number 79648-AT. The first 2 digits designate the model, the 6 = 60 cycles AC the 4th digit the number of blades and the last number is the radius of the blades. I cannot determine what the suffix AT represents. Emerson models after 1929 carried a date code until 1950. The two number code is found in the lower right corner of the tag, and you simply add the number 20 to the code to determine the date the fan was made. The date code on this fan is 28 making it's date of manufacture 1948 so it's a few years older than I originally thought.

Apparently there is a crowd interested in old finger-choppers. Check out some of this guys units he has sold, particularly the Century fans. Early Electric Fans: Antique Fans For Sale

Then there's this blog of the AFCA Antique Fan Collectors Association

my grandfather had stuff from the 50s all over his garage. It still worked.

this chinese garbage is lucky to work 2 or 3 years.

My mom just replaced the freezer they got before I was born. It was an energy hog but ran all these years with absolutely no servicing. My grandmother's gas oven that was bought shortly before World War 2 is out in my dad's workshop. No leaks, works fantastic and is nigh indestructible due to being made from old school US steel. It's heavy as sin, but was obviously built to be the only stove someone would ever buy.

Great job Ox! Seriously. And the hammered paint was the perfect choice.

Question: what rust remover are you using?

Note: I didn't see that you knotted the new pwr cord to act as a strain relief should anybody pull on the cord. That stress will translate to the small heater coil posts that are fastened to the cord.

Also, with all your cool tools (powder coat, media blaster, etc) I was blown away to see you use a lighter, verses a heat gun, to shrink the wrap. Is it because they have "gun" in their name?

Evaporust. It's awesome.

I did knot the power cord off camera.

It's one hell of a lot faster to user a lighter to shrink tubing than to get out my heat gun and plug the damn thing in. Plus, who doesn't like looking at a flame? It's better theater.

Thanks for watching. I'm at 258 subscribers in 3 weeks. Once I hit 1000, I can start making ad revenue.

Nice job Ox. The rollers are called high temp ceramic insulators. Do you know anything about restoring bowling balls?

I heard it was started by members of the gay community.

While watching this video I couldn't help but think of the rolling hills of orange trees that stretched from Alachua county all the way to south Florida back when that juicer was made. Sadly most are all gone. Wiped out by citrus greening.
I was wondering why you didn't powder coat it, like a lot of you other projects?
