^Never seen a fan like that before.

They put out an incredible amount of air and were very popular before AC.  This one is rather large and was used in a factory. They made lots of smaller ones and  they are all highly desirable.  It's a bit rough but it will look a lot better when I finish working on it.  I have been cleaning it and the amount of nicotine on it is disgusting :zombiefuck:

I remember seeing one or two of those when I was younger.

My mom had an old Kisco hassock fan, I think she sold it for $2.00 at one of our yard sales. Wish I still had it, they where cool.

But I would prefer a good AC. :P

I still have an all metal General Electric fan from the '50s that is noisy as hell (I like that when I am trying to sleep, no rattles, just air moving noise) which belonged to my wife's grandmother. I have fixed it after the motor died, ten years ago or so, but there is no fixing the fact that the fan blades cut the air like a banshee on crack and send out an insane amount of air.
I will never part with it. It is mine now, since I made it work again. It is mine! I love it!!


Sorry. I seemed to have posted in the middle of the quote. Had to make it look right.

It's Sunday so instead of going to church I bought a church pew at an estate sale for $25 :green:  It's a short one about 5 feet long from a church that was built in 1918 and closed in 1996.  I was going to sell it them my wife saw it and just started talking about where she was going to put it

The grocery salvage store had a sale this weekend.   I picked up about $150 worth of groceries for $43. 

When you can get MRE-type meals for 32 cents, orange marmalade for 50 cents, cans of fruit for 25 cents, you stock up.

So do I.

Today I bought 2 drinks and a mocha muffin.

We were without one for about 6 years.  So, it's a welcome addition.
