Only one for me. An 80's Summer Breeze it White and Polished brass with a Beveled glass light kit. It might not sound like too much. But I liked it. Indeed they are. I also passed up a PB coastal breeze or newer low profile (I can't remember.) and it had a PB bullet spot light kit. Cool fan as well. Finish was in good shape. |

This the Great Room I missed out on, I'm still on the lookout for the other if they ever throw it out.   They were in the master suite. |

I remember the neighbor with that Great Room also threw out a CEC Georgian white with stencil blades that was in the garage, and a Lasko 9" oscillating fan in tan with brown blades.
Plus another neighbor had thrown away an Encon spinner, I think Princess. It had four blades and the bowl shaped light kit. But I kept the mounting bracket and stupidly left the fan. Though I would rather have gotten that Great Room than any of those.

My regrets for not getting it is a Hunter Brighton, Encon Tradition, Homestead WIND II Remote, Universal Monterrey, Casablanca Panama 5 and Harbor Breeze Galileo (the same house that formerly had a Vector Elite there). I originally wanted a Hunter Brighton but my Mom won't let me. If I had that in my collection, then it would've been my first one in my collection. My Dad didn't let me get an Encon Tradition in a garage sale. Even worse, my parents won't even let me get a Homestead WIND II Remote, Universal Monterrey and a Casablanca Panama 5 at the Rebuilding Center.

1: those 1976 relite fans in abandoned villas before they were disappearing back in 2009, when i wasnt into collecting fans yet (moments of regrets there made me start pulling fans from ceilings in demolition sites)
2: 5 ceiling fans that were on the ground in an abandoned house, again before i get into fan collecting back in 2008 - 2009
3: revo, despite it being in a terrible and unrestorable condition back in 2014
4: many ceiling fans in the neighborhood awaiting demolition, since the place felt insecure and i couldnt put my guard down and dispatch myself to pull ceiling fans from there, but was able to get a total of 28 ceiling fans... unfortunately i couldnt get a 48" TMT in a good condition and i also couldnt get HCE fans which was one of the original fans in that area.. thats the same area where i tried to communicate with the scrappers to make a deal with fans and they didnt want to give me the fans..
5: 1975 and 1976 relites from an apartment awaiting demolition, i pulled them out, kept them one side, but never came back to take them and they were gone, back in 2012..
6: 4 mid 80s SMC KN56 ceiling fans from a mosque that went through renovation in my neighborhood, that was back in 2006 or 2007 and i wasnt into collecting back then, but i remember wanting them
7: blue TMTs in a decorative mosque that went through renovation, didnt know they would be removed as at the time i went they were still mounted and operating
8: green union ceiling fans i found in scrapyard, unfortunately they were in terrible condition when i found them

My school has a cafe and study lounge that I assume had a bunch of Originals when it was first built, but most were taken out when it was renovated in the early 2010s. Only one of the Originals (a 1986-1991) was left last summer, but it only worked on medium and needed to be push-started. The switch housing also looked tampered with. Still, I figured it would be a cool “project” fan. The maintenance man was about to replace it with a Seagull builder-vent thing, but said I could have the Original and he’d call me and would put it in a box. He still hasn’t called me back...
My cousins had a Casablanca Venus (the rare “light kit adaptable” model in off-white) with a busted flywheel that they got rid of over a decade ago. Not my favorite variant/color of the Venus, but I didn’t appreciate its rarity back then.
