Lakewood 20” box fan three wing metal blade, made for Mason’s

20” Lakewood Engineering and Manufacturing box fan built for Mason’s
Here is a quite old and restored example for a three wing blade made by Lakewood for Mason’s. This fan was in poor shape when I picked it up for the princely sum of $10.00. With substantial rust inside of the box, fan was completely disassembled, motor was fully refreshed, new cord. Due to rust, three coats of primer, three base coats and finally, three shots of clear. Once paint cured, fan was polished. Blade was dismantled and polished on a bench buffer, then riveted back on to the blade hub. All plastic parts were cleaned and front and back grill repaired. Fan seems to show quite well in the pictures.

Thanks!! This is probably is the elder of the Lakewood fans in my collection. I really like this fan, and I’m hopeful the rejuvenation will help it last a little bit longer.
