   One of our readers sends this info and pictures about a fan he's researching.    
   Any fan experts out there?   
      
   Antique General Electric Brass Oscillating Fan 20" tall CÇô 16" fan blade   
   diameter The brass plate on the top of the motor housing only gives this   
   insight ...  NO.  523674 Volts 110 Cycles 60   
      
   Hi All, I am doing some research for a friend that has this Antique GE Fan and   
   is looking to have me sell it.  I would like your help (or direction) in   
   identifying the model and year and the approximate value of the item.  If you   
   can (or you know of someone that I can talk to that can) assist me in finding   
   out this information, it would be much appreciated.   
      
   Please see the pictures here (and/or in the attachments) to assist with the ID   
   and to note the condition.   
      
   Condition:   
   The oscillating switch cover plate has obviously been broken in the past and   
   patched in some manner.  There is also a modern electrical wire and plug that   
   has been spliced into the fan, replacing the original.  The original wire   
   between the base and motor housing remains intact.   
      
   Runs powerfully and smoothly, and the oscillating function works just fine,   
   switches all work.  I thank you for any insight or interest you may have ...   
      
   Sincerely   
   Richard C

   Need some help identifying a tool or test device. 13.5" total length and 1.5"   
   diameter along the full length with a 5.75" shaped wood handle.  Besides the   
   wood handle the rest of the tool has a removable copper/brass tube cover that   
   exposes a brass(?) close ended 1" width fork that has a metal strip attached   
   and a pivoting scale attached to the sided of the fork.  Metal strip is ~   
   11/16".  Scale goes from 100, 135, 150 to 200 and the letter "C" on top.  The   
   metal strip shows evidence of flame and soot.  Not a single mark, letter or   
   number I can find anywhere on the device.
