After I acquired my Codep Stratosphere, I finally began to come across some vintage ceiling fans. Got this little 36" at a yard sale for $2, it just needs a light shade.  I bought these first 3 from a guy on Craigslist. Quorum:   Unidentified fan that looks like an Evergo Empire, but can't tell for sure there are no markings on the back motor housing. I was disappointed when I went to look at it to see the Cane is actually painted on. I've heard of plastic cane, but never painted on. After the long drive there, I bought it anyway.    Finally, my favorite, a Nutone spinner:   |

Nice Finds! $2 for the first one, can't beat that price! The blades are multicolor on the other side. I'm not sure if it is a Hampton Bay, Westinghouse, Encon, or a Walmart branded one. I don't think all 4 brands were the same. Perhaps someone else could weigh in on this. But I thought for $2 I can't pass this up, as long as this works. |

Also note, the pics of the fans installed were stolen from the Craigslist ad.

I don't think Hampton Bay made one of them, I could be wrong however.

The Emperor is a Saff Enterprise. I used to have the hugger version. It had the exact same integrated light kit and fake cane blades.

I don't know. But it didn't have the brand name on it. I discovered somewhere else that it was a Saff Enterprise fan.
I had to throw it away because I didn't realize the place I stored it wasn't weatherproof until it was too late. The entire fan rusted, along with a bunch of other fans.
It was very bad quality, though. It hummed really loud and didn't move much air.

I got these ones at a yard sale, not sure if it will be worthwhile to try to remove the paint or not.   |

I like them.. Those two Crests looks to be in good condition considering the ceiling they're on..
It looks like that Grayton was painted reasonably well,, I'd just leave it.. Probably not worth the work to get it back to original..

I wasn't able to test them out because the power was shut off, but they really appear to be in excellent condition. I had to remove them myself, but I forgot to take a pictures prior to doing so. Those were the first ceiling fans I removed. This was about a week before I replaced my bedroom. I'm more tempted to leave that one as is. I'm not sure what the white one is, but I believe it was originally antique brass. It was definitely painted as well, but they didn't to as good of a job as the spinner. |
