Wow I love those Crests. It's only the second time I see someone posting this model. It's even more awesome to see one in brass. The only other one was posted was by Andrew G in 2006, a white one in a supermarket.
I would imagine they are from the late 1980's?

That's what I guessed as well. If I have the time before school starts, I will temporarily install them and take more pics and videos.

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. Some type of brass seems most likely to me too..

Is seems as if there are some decent finds here for sure, Matt! 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. I would guess that it might also be a Crest. I would imagine they are from the late 1980's? Given the blades, I would personally suspect that they are from the early 90s. The late 80s is still entirely possible, though.

I took a closer look at the Crests and found a manufacture date of January 1991. Max you are correct.

Here are the Crests installed, the brass one works perfectly, but the white one shakes somewhat violently on high, and enough on medium to concern me. The only speed I would feel comfortable running it on for a long period of time would be low.

Very nice! I like them both. One of those wide and slim schoolhouse light would match well the shape of their housings.

I got this fan about a month ago, it's my first find in a while because I've been busy with school. It's Sears all plastic ceiling fan, I believe it is from the late 70's- early 80's. I did not realize they were plastic until I saw it in person, was a little disappointed, but it is still the oldest ceiling fan I own. Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted
