Emerson 35661 "Longnose" 32" antique ceiling fan

This is an antique Emerson 32" ceiling fan (c. 1920's). The rotor inside the motor was totally frozen up, and most of the original paint was gone. I had the parts powdercoated in a finish called "coppervein", restored the tag, installed brand new wiring throughout, and rewired the choke coil.

I start the fan out on "low" speed, demonstrate the schoolhouse light, and then turn the fan on high, followed by medium. Medium speed is almost identical to high, although I can sense maybe a 1-2 RPM difference between these speeds. "Low" is noticeably slower, but not in the sense of low speed settings on modern fans.
