Very nice acquisitions!
You are very lucky with Fanimations Islanders especially classic polished brass ones.
Did you tried the Dayton with 120 volts to see if it moves at all? For what purpose are the 277 volts models? I've seen before ceiling fans rated at 260 volts and I was wondering what are theses for. The highest normal residential voltage that can be found is 240 volts.

The highest normal residential voltage that can be found is 240 volts. 277-volts would be used in commercial/industrial installations where a good power factor is important. The highest you'd find in a residential installation is indeed 240-volts.

I never hooked the Dayton up at all, the seller who I bought it from did run it with 120 since he had it on his front porch, but I'd rather not take the risk.

Running it at a lower voltage isn't always good either.. True, however there's no sensitive electronic equipment here...

True, however there's no sensitive electronic equipment here... I wasn't thinking about electronics,,I was referring more to the motor itself..generally it is not good to have a motor running at a lower voltage than what it was intended for..

Moar stuffz: Took pity on this Forever Fan that had been sitting at one of my Habitats for well over a year Its missing the mounting bracket sadly. Usually I wouldn't even bat an eye on a fan like this but I was asked to install a fan on a family friend's porch, The best thing I could find for cheap was this Minka Aire Sundance which impressed me in terms of quietness and performance. And last but not least I bought this 1985 5 speed Delta II from Dan when I met him at one of his Fanimation trips.

That Forever Fan looks really cool.

I love those early Casablanca Delta II with well pointed tipped blades. They are even cooler with the 5-speed switch.

Wheeeee, look what I found among the vast sea of generic builder fans and Hampton Bays. It seems Originals seem to get less and less common around here by each passing day sadly. This was a CL find, they included a Harbor Breeze alabaster bowl light which I'm going to donate. They had the light installed on the fan which explains the funky switch cap they threw on the fan using a center cap off a 4 arm light kit. It was on a 16" Downrod so I had to get a small 2" pipe nipple to hang it up. 2 speed with reverseaire from 1981.
