Here is a short video of the early clockwork fan I purchased at the Coolspring engine show.

Am so impressed that it´ll run for an hour on a full winding, what a cool piece (pun intended) you´ve bought there Doug.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Good that it runs for an hour, otherwise you'd need it to cool down after multiple winds. ;D

Very interesting, thanks for showing.

Very nice item - no steam but a high-quality mechanical eye-catcher
I like the floral decor very much - that's "Jugendstil" or
Art Nouveau, Arnold

Nice fan and video Doug. I think the painting was more in the style of Japanese painted lacquerware which was in vogue at the time.
