Draeger Hot Air Alcohol Fan
Circa 1910
The first time I saw a fan like this was from my good friend Terry Fisher, a collector who has a passion for hot air powered fans.  For years after, I kept my eyes peeled but seldom saw any for sale and when I did, they were beaten to hell.  And then I found this one from a guy in England a couple years ago and wasted no time making the purchase.  Needless to say, I was very pleased as it was complete, working and in great condition. Not to mention it sported the ‘Draeger’ tag on the neck, the first time Terry had seen one with it intact.  Oh yeah, it runs super smooth, making the Lakebreeze Fan seem like a jalopy.
