I came across this 12" Ting Ho fan which I suspect was made in Taiwan by the name. Anyone have any info on the company?

Fooling us? That tape is factory. Steve has a genuine Taiwanese ripoff of a Westinghouse on his hands. Model number 62634. Nice to look at but their plastic rotors were problematic.

My Input - If two of them has showed up then they must be real -- save your serial numbers for an AFCA survey! I personally know the Ho family met a bunch of Hos while I was in Vietnam.

Hey Steve,  Currently in Xi'An, China and will keep a lookout for this fan.  I did see a somewhat backward company by the name of OHGNIT right next door to a who flung dungers factory.   Someone kept telling us to watch out for stuff landing in our coffee.

Sounds like I need a good set of waders on this post.

Steve and all interested parties.  I think I got to the bottom of this Ting Ho fan.  After a number of hours research and investigation, it finally come to rest at the following link.  Take a look at the metal stand fan and the right margin under "contact" name.  Case closed.

I think they emigrated to the U.S.  Ron. They go by the first names of Dumb, Stupid, and Crack. Then there is the heavier set side of that family, the Ho-Ho's.

Let's see if I got this correct....Steve has a Ting Ho fan that he thought was from Taiwan, but Paul did his research and found it was "contracted" in China.  Well heck, Taiwan-China, that's close enough for me!

April 1st is every day when appropriate.
I think the whole story is coming together nicely thanks to you all.

A Ting Ho fan made by Taiwanese company by the name of One-Hung-Lo but actually made in China due to a Tai-Chi connection.
They must have STAMPED out a ton of these as I got this one for a STEEL.

Happy April first and a Merry Chrismas. Forget Holloween; Costco has had their Christmas decorations out for sale for over a month. Can't they wait until after Thanksgiving???
