Very sweet. Great job on the wrinkle finish. Saw your 10' Silver Swan Imperial. Got one myself that was restored 5+ years ago and it's one of my daily runners. Love these old fans. Thanks for the update.
Well, luckily, this wrinkle finish was nearly met when I got it I just had to clean it. Yeah I had to do some touchup but very minimal. I do intend on trying to replicate the wrinkle finish on one that I have that’s in much worse condition. I was thinking about making that one into an ivory wrinkle finish, but I’m not sure yet. I think now I might try to paint it with the same color I used on the blades because I’m theorizing that that’s the color these were originally.… sort of purply Brown is a faded version of that color or something. I really haven’t figured it out yet. Whatever paint they used on the wrinkle finish and then did not have the same resistance as the lack are used on the blades, but I’m pretty sure it was all one color as I talk about to in the video.

Beautiful fan!
that finish is fantastic
That gunky stuff could be nicotine or kitchen grease. Or a combination of both.
