listingtycoon Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I just picked up this blower. Cranks nice. Needs some fresh oil. Blades are sheet metal attached to a hub and all are intact. I can not find any manufacturing marks. only what appear to be part numbers. 1075 and 1077 on the casting and raised print for oil level.

Frank Turley Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 The blower is probably a "Tiger" manufactured by Canedy Otto Mfg. in Chicago Heights, IL, early 1900's. They manufactured a high quality one similar in appearance which says, "Royal Western Chief" on the fan case. It has a little brass petcock instead of a "plug", as on the Tiger. The Tiger is a slightly lower quality than the Western Chief. Your style sometimes came with a four piece tubular stand joined at the top with a casting marked "TIGER."

Steve Sells Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have no proof or experience of yours, but the shape and markings look a lot like those on my Canedy Otto hand crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
