Carette fan
« on: June 12, 2023, 06:40:14 pm »
New (to me) Carette fan from 1911--the only one I've seen with its original blades. Keeps you cool if you don't mind burning alcohol fumes:

Oh my but isn't that an absolute sweetheart of a Stirling!

Thanks for sharing that beauty with us.

Love it Brent, you can always use the fan to blow the fumes out of your eyes (or would that blow the fumes "into" your eyes...lol)nice original Sterling just the same, you always find the "lovelys"

Thanks Bruce. It's very good at blowing the fumes into your nose and eyes.
