ADAMS-BAGNALL ELECTRIC CO. “GYRO FAN” FORM E OSCILLATING CEILING FAN

ADAMS-BAGNALL ELECTRIC CO. “GYRO FAN” FORM E OSCILLATING CEILING FAN CIRCA: 1906–1915. MANUFACTURER: Adams-Bagnall Electric Company, Cleveland, Ohio. Very rarely does a highly desirable fan present itself in such wonderful original patina. This early 20th century “Gyro Fan,” patented April 3, 1906, represents one of the more distinctive mechanical designs of the brass-era electric fan industry. Adams-Bagnall was an innovative Cleveland-based manufacturer known for heavy-duty motors and advanced oscillating mechanisms during the formative years of commercial electrification. The Gyro model features a dual-motor configuration mounted on articulated arms extending from a central ceiling hub, allowing opposing fan heads to pivot and circulate air in multiple directions. CONDITION: The cast and copper flashed motor housings retain period manufacturer markings and original configuration consistent with early production examples. This example is in all original paint, original copper flashed blades, original switch, and newly wired to perfect operating condition. Ready for ceiling mounting and wired to operate. Showing some minor wear to the original paint and some oxidation to the unpainted parts, but a gem of a find for those collectors that value originality. CORRECTION: The fan was damaged in transit and now has a repair to the cast housing as well as the operational switch. The blades, though original may need to be rebalanced.
