A refined country antique storefront in Franklin, Ohio with early American, country, primitive, and one-of-a-kind antique finds.

Collecting antique electric fans is an interesting and challenging hobby, especially for fans made in the early years after its invention, c.1885, when companies' earliest designs made use of interesting open motors and brass blades devoid of any protective cage. My interests are with original and unrestored desk fans made prior to 1916. This blog will share my interests by including photographs, historic information and other details about these early fans.
