Emerson 'Trojan' Type 5110 Circa 1904 This fan was marketed by Emerson in their ‘Trojan’ line of fans in the year 1904.  This style of motor with a single bearing setup is known commonly among collectors as a ‘pancake’ and if you take a look at the photo taken from the side you will see why.  I really love the look of this fan and is one of the first ‘good’ fans in my collection

Emerson 8" DC Fan Style #19044 Circa 1916 This DC fan from Emerson is simply a great fan, far superior in my opinion to the AC models which a far more common.  I believe less than 8 are known of the DC model  compared to probably over 1000 of the AC.  The reason I love this fan so much is fact it runs so smooth, and quiet.  And for this reason, it has been the fan on my bedside table for several years and is turned on every night.

Emerson Silver Swan 12" Oscillating Fan Circa 1934 The ‘Silver Swan’ fan by Emerson was designed by a Jewish woman named Jane Evans.  It felt very strange for me writing that distinction, however at the time it was still a very big deal.  The blade design was inspired by a boat prop and is not only beautiful but very quiet and efficient.  I would think this is one of the most recognized fans from this time by all, not just the collectors.  This model in my collection is a 12” 3-speed fan I recently bought from a friend named Rob Wrinkle who also is the first person I ever met who collected fans in 1994.
