Watching similar fans on eBay or checking SOLD LISTINGS can be a good way to find values. Condition and originality or quality of a restoration plays a large part in value so photos are a must. As to the value I can't help you there due to the broken base and not having seen your fan. Hi Rod, the 16" 14648 is a nice fan from 1912 and probably 1913. There may be some special frequency Emersons made. The middle number in Emerson's TYPE designation tells us the frequency 0 for DC, 2 for 25 cycles, 3 for 30, 5 for 50, 6 for 60, etc. The reason you don't see your fan in my blog is because I only included 60 cycle Emerson fan motors being as how they are, by far, the most common frequency. Running at 120/125 volts will not harm your 50 cycle fan. That additional voltage should help your ran run a little better but give it a try if you have a variac and see if the motor gets warmer at the higher voltage. A variac will usually put out about 135-140 volts plugged into a 120/125 volt circuit. They will run ok on our 60 cycle current although you may want to raise the voltage some. 50 cycle fans are not too rare but not seen very often either. It's very simple, you have a 50 cycle "version" of the common Emerson 73648. Hi Jeff, I have been following your posts about your Emerson on the AFCA forum.
