Hi..........nothing to be sorry about and welcome to the forums. The old ceiling fans that come to mind are made from cast and usually had wooden blades. I guess when you think about it though so do the news ones. It's pretty easy to tell the newer ones from the older ones. The older ones will have a patina that can't be duplicated. Some with brass shrouds and blades. Try some search engines on antique fans and you should get some usual information.

Can you post a picture of your Emerson?  Some Fernleaf versions bring a good price.  Long-snouts are fairly common.

Fan blades must be mounted at least seven feet above the floor. For maximum efficiency, they should not have any obstruction within 24" of the blade tips.

I am laughing out loud Tim with your Holy Smoke reply!  We're kinda slow in welcoming people around here lately!  I'm so sorry, I am laughing so hard I am crying!

You can't say that we don't get around to answering questions, and to check back often....at least  every couple of years...only took 4 years to get this one!   (I'm sorry....I really needed this laugh today!)
