A lighting showroom in Baltimore closed its doors back in December, so Dan bought off some of the liquidated inventory. His friend dropped the haul off at my place this afternoon. It's all on loan to me until Dan needs it.  World's Fair. The flywheel still seems intact, but a blade is bent:  Chrome American Spirit. The box is kinda rough, but the contents are MINT!  Dealer signs: two mirrored ones, and a lighted one. The mirrored ones were slightly smoked-stained.    Marley fitter:  |

What was the name of the place? I don't remember any lighting showrooms that still had vintage stuff in the Baltimore area, but then again I never went to Baltimore that much either.

The only lighting showroom I know of near Baltimore is actually in a suburb of Baltimore in Towson. They used to sell all kinds of stuff but now they sell Hunter and Casablanca mainly. Which showroom was this?

The stuff came from People's Electrical Supply.

I was under the understanding there were several American Spirits, not just one.

So was I! I think my friend still has another chrome one he's going to drop off to Daniel in the next few weeks.

Also, I'm completely lost at where that Marley fitter came from!

I love the American Spirit! The Worlds Fair is also beautiful.

Those Casa blades don't look half bad on the Fasco! If I'd have known of that electrical supply place closing up, you'd bet I'd have been there. I love NOS stuff, especially after getting an NIB Beverly Hills Basic Series in CHROME off of Craigslist. There's a lighting place near me that still has an NOS PB Emerson 42" Premium as well as a rust-colored outdoor Fasco 52" Charleston, I'll have to see about maybe getting the Fasco eventually. There was a lighting showroom near me that sold Quorum that closed up two years ago, they liquidated their inventory, I happened to get an NOS 52" gloss black Quorum Classic for $59 from there when they closed.

LOOKS AWESOME.
Did they make wood-finished Saturn blades with silver "stencil"?
