Gorgeous Crocker Wheeler bipolar fan. Runs great, both bearings have been redone and it runs like new. Very smooth and quiet. Has a great looking exposed 2 speed switch marked Crocker Wheeler on the knob. Both iron field poles are also marked Crocker Wheeler. 12" blade is stamped Crocker Wheeler on each blade leaf. 115 Volts DC with a bridge rectifier wired in the line cord so it can be plugged in a standard ac wall outlet. great running fan.  $9500

Click on the first image to see a short video of the fan on slow and fast speed.

I don't know Alan, it looks like the Cinni fan may be drawing more interest than this Crocker Wheeler.

I saw this fan run at Rick Hill's west coast reginal and it's a sweetie. You'd have a hard time telling it was from the dawn of fans by the way it runs so smoothly.

I greatly enjoy all your wonderful photos of fans that I will probably never own although I feel lucky that I was able to acquire a Crocker Wheeler fan very similar to this one which is, by far, my oldest fan. I'll be seeing you about getting a few things done on it Alan.

Alan - another really, really, beautiful fan.  I don't know how you can part with them but, of course, I have no idea how many you have.  I also much enjoy just looking at the pictures of them.
