Great snag Ray!
We could use these up here in mid-Michigan, recorded the hottest day EVER recorded in Lansing yesterday at 103. Those are Fan-tastic, TGBWC.
Hot fun in the summer-time...

I'd characterize your CW postings today as Hole-in-One, Eagle, Birdie. Impressive.
ACES! Fantastic
These fans are amazing.
I have several fans of this same style and age, but the advertising on the back is of Construction Co. in Nashville, TN. Any idea on where I can find a value on these?
nobigdiehl: if they're Coca-Cola fans, it doesn't matter what advertising is on the backs. Still book-valued at $250 each. I say "book-value" because that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get that much for them if you're interested in selling them.
