Video Tour of the Fanimation Fan Museum, Lower Level
aka the Antique Fan Museum.
The lower level deals primarily with pre-1950s ceiling, desk, and hand fans. This section of the museum is complete and finished, although new fans are constantly being added. The curator is Tom Frampton, founder of Fanimation, whose personal collection is included in the museum.
I give a whirlwind (no pun intended) tour of the lower level . . . there are so many fans you cant possibly see them all in pictures and video, if you like fans you need to come visit!
I am installing 38 vintage ceiling fans from my personal collection in the upper level, which is mostly post 1950s fans.
I buy, sell, and trade vintage ceiling fans.

Announcing New Fanimation Ceiling Fan Styles
Fanimation, Inc. was started in Tom Frampton's Pasadena, California garage in 1984 with three revolutionary ceiling fans. Now Fanimation sells its ceiling fans to more than 1,500 retail stores and ships its products to more than twenty-three countries.
Springfield Electric Lighting is proud to carry the Fanimation line of ceiling fans, including the stunning Avaston™, the continuously orbiting Extraordinaire® and the single-bladed Enigma®.
Now through May 11th, visit one of our showrooms to see more Fanimation models and talk with our ceiling fan experts!
Fanimation Beckwith ceiling fan
On the Fanimaiton group tour I got this Fanimation Beckwith fan. It's designed like having a portable mounted to the ceiling. Moves a lot of air though. Looks like a light fixture on the outside but has a fan inside the middle.
Fanimation Group Trip 2016: Metal Pete's Portable Fan testing 2
Metal Pete narrates and operates the camera and test rig.
Montgomery Wards Signature (Hunter), Eskimo, Manning Bowman, Toastmaster (McGraw Edison), Lakewood, General Electric (GE), Lasko, Air King, probably some are forgetting. Using the decade box test rig, solid state speed control, and amp meter.
Fanimation is home of the world's largest (and presumably only) fan museum, with hundreds of fans from the 1800s to present!
There are a great many ceiling fans installed EVERYWHERE in the company, including every single office and cubicle. There is also a great deal of fan-related artwork and memorabilia posted everywhere.
If you want to be included in the next group trip to Fanimation and the Antique Fan Museum, contact me (or have your parents contact me if you are under 18). The group trips also include a tour of the Fanimation facilities.
