The 1898 Emerson fan catalog is a very rare document. David Foster, a member of the AFCA, was kind enough to provide a scanned copy to post on White Glove Fans. Thank you, David!

Sometimes in order to hook what you really want you've got to buy some other items too. Every now and then the bycatch is bigger than the trophy you were after in the first place.

Polishing fans is a dirty job. I built this cabinet to make the job easier. It works reasonably well and I won't be changing it for a while. If I do I'll post here.
