early alternating current only had the hot and neutral no ground i suppose you ground any metal on the fan but as long as the wire is fine you wouldn’t need to do that.
lovely fan !
do you ever put 3 prong (grounding) plugs on your fans or do you just use the old fashion bakelite plugs?
The only ones I know which will bring more money are Menominee Electric bank teller fans.
