Salvage Operation

[ha_asfan]

I have a very similar exhaust fan in my kitchen and believe it is a hallmark to kitchen design of the era. A true vintage kitchen is complete only when a similar fan is installed. Finding this type of fan is one of the most difficult things to do ! These were manufactured in both metal and plastic, the plastics tend to be high quality, are very washable and serviceable. The missing component is the little locking mechanism that holds the chain pull inplace, those usually get lost but can be fabricated locally.

Asfan,
Did you notice the vintage frig too??
The Chambers & the frig just seems to complete the charm & details of this kitchen.

PS When my mom wins the lotto, I'm having you come down to Texas to design my kitchen like this. I'll make sure it's winter so you can enjoy the weather. It's going to be sunny and 80 today!!Leave the cowboy outfit at home!!

My Fan came with the copper hood that came with my Beauty. It is supposed to be hardwired and has no pull chain. This person (with the lovely kitchen) says he just used the fan face over a modern fan.

Someone on this site recently asked where a fan like this could be obtained. I believe I know of one - it was a bathroom exhaust fan and belongs to one of my instructors. Please email me and I'll try to hook you up.
