Stuart Habitat 7-25-2014

[Adam D.]

Decided to run down to the Stuart Habitat even though I'm on a tight budget, and seeing how most stuff there is cheap.. Though I did by pass the more local Habitat where the Hunter Designers Choices are.. The Stuart Habitat is becoming again to where they have mostly junk and a bunch of fan motors and blades that don't go together.. Amongst all the junk I did see some neat blades.. Too bad out of all the junk I found three sets of blades all together, most likely these came of fans that were from the same place..




All the Junk.. Even broken stuff..








SMC or Evergo Emperor




The blades I came home with.. I don't know what they would go to.. But I suspect something very neat

[Daniel G.]

That emperor is an Evergo. It's one of the last ones made.

The two sets with brass blade irons are Key Largo. The set with the nickel blade irons, on the other hand, looks like American Industries... I'd LOVE to see them with the associated motor.

I had a feeling those big brass irons were Key Largo.. The blades are in such great shape, not even dust on the flip sides.. It's too bad they scraped the motors.. Exactly what I told the guy in the back the handles ceiling fans..

I have an application to fill out for there.. I would only be able to come every two weeks or month.. They would have to put the fans in a pile somewhere and not scrap anything. I would come and sort everything out and put things together..

Only habitat I know that gets neat stuff in alot.. But lately everything neat is only blades and missing motor.. Seems like out of all that pile of tuna can metal, everything is there, but if it's neat and old.. It's only the blades.. Seems like they do that all the time.. They must know what fans I like..

I'm guessing the pretzel bracketed blades are Fasco Boca Raton (since the blade corners are more pronounced) and that the brackets are switched on the other two sets (Key Largo and American Industries, as has already been said).

LOVE those blades. Did you check the scrap bin for the motors?

[Cole S.]

I don't think we can be sure between the FASCO and Key Largo, they look nearly identical to me between the two. I have a Key Largo (the one similar to what Dan is after) with the same pretzel blade arms and very pronounced tips like that.

The other Key Largo set would probably have been from a Chaparral given the blade arms.

Real shame that there we no motors for these. That makes me very, very sad.

I went out and looked in the back in the scrap area and didn't see any motors, but those blades could have been there for weeks in between my visits..
