<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 85989, member: 111"]I've always felt the heat in my face and neck, and can also have intense flushing from some irritants (chocolate, peppers, etc.), so I like fans. Used to have a small collection, sold off most several years ago (darn mortgage payments) - had several ivory and celluloid, a spectacular tortoise-shell, and a carved Chinese sandalwood, which brought in very good money, even with a repair. The ivories were a bit delicate, the celluloids didn't seem rigid enough to produce great air movement, and the tortoise-shell was just lovely to use, but I kept a later, mid-20th century sandalwood, quite simply because it feels so nice in the hand, large and sturdy, it has the loveliest light scent even after all these years - new sandalwood fans aren't the same at all...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl</p><p><br /></p><p>Similar to the one sold: <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/30724595_antique-chinese-export-carved-sandalwood-fan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/30724595_antique-chinese-export-carved-sandalwood-fan" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/30724595_antique-chinese-export-carved-sandalwood-fan</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Similar to the one kept:</p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/225691307/vintage-sandalwood-fan-in-original-box?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=sandalwood%20fan&ref=sr_gallery_4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/225691307/vintage-sandalwood-fan-in-original-box?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=sandalwood%20fan&ref=sr_gallery_4" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/225691307/vintage-sandalwood-fan-in-original-box?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=sandalwood fan&ref=sr_gallery_4</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
