Collector's Guide to Electric Fans: Identification and Values

The interest in old electric fans has skyrocketed in the last five years. In 1994, an 1887 Crocker/Curtis fan brought $12,000 at an auction; several fans have since sold for over $15,000! Antiques dealers, auctioneers, and collectors from all over the country have been unable to find information on these fans - there has been no price guide available. Plus there are many reproductions on the market that are worthless and confusing to the collector. This book is the answer to the great demand for an accurate and complete resource for dating and pricing electric fans. Each of the 330 fans in this well-researched book is dated, sized, and given a thorough range of prices based on six categories of condition. Plus there are dozens of intriguing illustrations, catalog ads, and historical information for various companies. 2001 values. 8.5 X 11.
