I like to make separate threads for these Minneapolis trips, kind of a separate feature than my usual finds. This past weekend I made the usual summer trip, and had a bit more success this year than I did when I went late last summer. I'll be posting everything as I get to it, so stay tuned.
First of all, all the random stuff I grabbed, which some of you may have seen elsewhere already. You can pretty much see everything so I won't explain much, not sure what's up with the Regency parts in the upper left, but for $5 there was some stuff I could use there so I grabbed it.
And the first fan, a NIB Regency Marquis-MX. It seems that I'm one of few collectors in these parts with any kind of affinity for Regency fans, aside from the stack motor models anyway. Pretty much anything in their old line from near the turn of this century is a childhood fan for me. I see a lot more plain Marquis models than any of the MX variants, so I thought this one was worthy of picking up especially in such a classic finish combo. There were no blades to be found (since you buy them separate), I picked up the set shown at my own Habitat a few months back and they found a home on this fan. Some people might not like the square blades, I've personally always been fond of that look for Regency fans. It definitely feels heftier than the basic Marquis models, and moves better air too.
More to come soon!
