<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4032446, member: 8363"]I came across this thin celluloid fan that is very simple in design. The blades are wafer thin and have some striations in them, otherwise, it is quite plain. It doesn't expand very much, but I since don't know anything about fans, I don't know if it is supposed to be that way. It just doesn't seem to me very useful to create a breeze. </p><p>It is in pretty good shape except for the ribbon that has become unglued at the end. When I have been doing research, all the celluloid fans are ornately carved or colorful. I can't find anything like this. It is 9 1/2 inches in total length. The blades are 8 3/4 inches and the widest blade is 1 1/4 inch. If it is an antique, I will have it framed to protect it. I would appreciate some help. [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] if you want to chime in that would be great. It was hard to photograph, so please excuse these. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]327207[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327208[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327209[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327210[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327211[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327216[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
