I have come upon an old fan which I believe to be pre 1050's. The 016A6-01 is on the back name plate. Serial number has to be cleaned up a little to read it but it looks something like FMLE204XC. If you say that isn't quite right I am going to have to get a good magnifying glass to look at it better. The fan has to be clean. It does run but I don't think the oscillating function works (if it is suppose to oscillate). I was told it runs but I haven't tested it being to busy this weekend. I plan to get into it Wednesday after the snow stops. I am looking for information such as age, true function and pricing range as is (dirty) cleaned up but not polished, restored. I don't think I will be keeping it thus the pricing range. I am also open to offers. Thanks you in advance for any help. Kindly Ken

I think most will need photos to tell what you have.

yours is the 16" version - the oscillators do fail, make sure that chrome button with the slot is fully engaged - takes a straight screwdriver or a coin - - 1930s-1940s

here is a 16---The motor & base is the same as a 12" fan, just a bigger blade & cage, you can see the recessed chrome oscillator button

what would a fair market price be for this fan in the dirty condition that it is in? What if I cleaned the unit up and made it presentable, would it improve the pricing should I decide to sell this unit? It does look cool. Thank you. Ken

The blade must be good - - no wobbles, good head wire - - no frays - - I'd say 80-100 tops if in very good cosmetic shape, clean paint, these are common & I like them (I have 20 I'd say, all sizes) but they don't fetch high prices, and then shipping on a large fan is expensive & 16" fans just don't have the appeal as 10-12" fans. Polish it up & use it!

Sounds like what I'll be doing. Thank you. I think I will take it up to Ontario Canada to our cottage and use it in the family room. Will make a wonderful conversation piece also. Ken
