[GreenKeys] Hawthorne Works

[Don Robert House]

Hi Steve,

Western Electric also made sewing machines.  Good ones too.  I have  
one here from the same period as your fan.

I have an interesting Vane Oscillator fan made by Western Electric.  
It has interesting nomenclature, listing the manufacturer as "Western  
Electric, (Formerly Victor)" on the motor, and "Hawthorn" in script  
across the middle of the cage. It seems to have been produced early,  
as the patent dates were late 1890's, and 1900.

Note that the script and the motor ID leaves off the "e" in Hawthorne:
