RARE Westinghouse 98926 B Whirlwind Fan Black S-Cage Antique 1910s 8" WORKS

For serious collectors: This is the highly coveted Early Production Model Style No. 98926 B Westinghouse fan. Dating from the mid-1910s (circa 1912-1915), this represents one of the earliest incarnations of the "Whirlwind" brand. This unit features the desirable 8-inch blade diameter and the iconic Art Nouveau S-Cage (S-shaped wire guard). It is a rare "Small Motor" variant that is exceptionally difficult to find in working condition today.
