Eddie, those are nice fans. My neighbors the Wilson's have a Westinghouse like yours. I agree that they do the job better than the new ones.

Oh sure Eddie...

You just wanted to show off that beautiful Whirlpool washer!!!

Oh but anyway, NICE FANS.

Funny, I also have a pair of those blue and white Asian jars like you have in the picture. You have good taste!

I see you've got one of the newfangled Westys

Looks nice! I'm not in any hurry to replace mine, though -- it won't be long before it celebrates its 100th birthday!

Supersuds, That is One Gorgeous Fan !

Westinghouse made some great fans! For years in summer we used day-in day-out one of their big floor stand models in lieu of A/C, it finally died at about age 50.

Supersuds!

The Westy is oh-so-fine, but wait! That clock! How lucky you are.

Not to mention the //RCA// Whirlpool it's sitting on.

Thanks

Didn't mean to hijack the thread or anything. The newest patent date on my fan is 1917, but I think that means it was made circa 1919. It runs fine but with some bearing rumble, and the little cup holding the spring/wick tends to drip oil. Never been able to figure out why unless they all did that when they were new, which seems unlikely.

Keith, the clock is a Telechron Dispatcher. It was made during WW II and has a notice that the OPA (Office of Price Administration) ceiling price is $4.95. It still operates silently and keeps perfect time. Everyone seems to love it. I think there is even one shown in "The Cat in the Hat!"

You can find them cheap on eBay.
