Any fan experts out there?

Antique General Electric Brass Oscillating Fan 20" tall CÇô 16" fan blade
diameter The brass plate on the top of the motor housing only gives this
insight ...  NO.  523674 Volts 110 Cycles 60

Hi All, I am doing some research for a friend that has this Antique GE Fan and
is looking to have me sell it.  I would like your help (or direction) in
identifying the model and year and the approximate value of the item.  If you
can (or you know of someone that I can talk to that can) assist me in finding
out this information, it would be much appreciated.

Please see the pictures here (and/or in the attachments) to assist with the ID
and to note the condition.

Condition:
The oscillating switch cover plate has obviously been broken in the past and
patched in some manner.  There is also a modern electrical wire and plug that
has been spliced into the fan, replacing the original.  The original wire
between the base and motor housing remains intact.

Runs powerfully and smoothly, and the oscillating function works just fine,
switches all work.  I thank you for any insight or interest you may have ...

Sincerely
Richard C

Need some help identifying a tool or test device. 13.5" total length and 1.5"
diameter along the full length with a 5.75" shaped wood handle.  Besides the
wood handle the rest of the tool has a removable copper/brass tube cover that
exposes a brass(?) close ended 1" width fork that has a metal strip attached
and a pivoting scale attached to the sided of the fork.  Metal strip is ~
11/16".  Scale goes from 100, 135, 150 to 200 and the letter "C" on top.  The
metal strip shows evidence of flame and soot.  Not a single mark, letter or
number I can find anywhere on the device.
