Originally they were likely used to stoke the burning of coal or peat in a stove made for cooking, or for heating a dwelling. While this bellows will function as an accessory for a wood burning fireplace, it is primarily of interest as a decorative mechanical device.<\/p>\n<p>The bellows is of typical form, having a brass wheel in the backside turned by a crank with an ebonized wooden knob. The wheel is connected to a rope-driven fan belt that spins a fan set within the otherwise hollow curved rounded bellows to expel air out of a rectangular opening in the front. The top of the bellows is fitted with shaped sheet brass, close nailed in rows on either side. It has a brass carrying handle and the apparatus rests on a mahogany base with a double lobe-shaped end at the back that has a hole for hanging.<\/p>\n<p>Condition: Generally very good with the usual overall wear including some denting and oxidation to brass cover of bellows and warping and restored cracks to wood. In operational condition \u2014 will blow air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22704,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[4191,6842,6934,6797,5227,6935],"product_tag":[61,7863,2589,2588,2587,1452,625,1242,2591,1262,7862,1378,2594,785],"class_list":{"0":"post-22699","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-gentlemans-man-cave","7":"product_cat-holiday-gifts","8":"product_cat-home-garden-dining-kitchen","9":"product_cat-prop-rentals","10":"product_cat-ski-lodge-decor","11":"product_cat-tools","12":"product_tag-20th-century","13":"product_tag-alpeth","14":"product_tag-atlantic","15":"product_tag-cable","16":"product_tag-communications","17":"product_tag-paperweight","18":"product_tag-pennsylvania","19":"product_tag-relic","20":"product_tag-section","21":"product_tag-souvenir","22":"product_tag-telecom","23":"product_tag-telecommunications","24":"product_tag-telephone","25":"product_tag-texas","26":"post","27":"post-with-thumbnail","28":"post-with-thumbnail-large","30":"first","31":"instock","32":"purchasable","33":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/22699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/22699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=22699"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=22699"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=22699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
