Some Electric Fan History: - In 1882, a year after U. S. President Garfield's assassination, Schuyler Skaats Wheeler [born in Massachusetts, 1860 - died in Manhattan 1923] figured out how to apply the fledgling science of electricity to make a fan turn. Drawing on the work of Thomas Edison and Nicola Tesla, Wheeler invented a desktop fan consisting of two blades—unshielded by any sort of protective cage—powered by an electric motor.
Wheeler went on to prominence in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). A $1.5 million boost from Andrew Carnegie, led to the 1907 founding of the Engineering Societies Building in New York. Wheeler later became president of the IEEE.
Meanwhile, the further development of the electric fan fell to Philip H. Diehl, a German immigrant who'd lost everything in the 1871 Chicago fire. Diehl pulled up stakes for the East Coast, where he went to work for the Singer Sewing Machine company. He took a sewing-machine motor, mounted a fan blade and attached the whole thing to the ceiling—thereby inventing the ceiling fan, which he patented in 1887. Later, as head of his own company, Diehl added a light fixture to the ceiling fan. In 1904, Diehl and Co. put a split-ball joint on an electric fan, allowing it to be redirected; three years later, this idea developed into the first oscillating fan.

eBay's Shipping Calculator [at bottom of this listing] only allows me to estimate the actual postage plus my handling cost(s) to pack and ship an item.
However, since I pack items after they sell, if I have greatly overestimated the actual shipping and handling costs, I refund the difference. When I underestimate it, I pay the difference out-of-my-pocket.
SHIPPING INSURANCE: Is usually optional; sometimes partially provided by shipping carriers at no additional cost. I pack items as best as I can. However, when a packed item has been accepted by a shipping carrier [UPS, Fed Ex, or US Postal Service], I, the seller, am no longer responsible. So, before you submit payment, decide for yourself, whether you should choose the optional insurance, offered by the shipping carrier.
