So it's been a long time since I've posted about my collection. And that's because there really hasn't been much new... until the past couple months. I've gotten a lot of new stuff, so here's what I've gotten recently.
First, back in September or so, I bought a 3rd-generation AB 52" Fasco Charleston from 1990 from Mark Welker. One of my wanted fans, and I finally have one! Mark got it off of Craigslist, along with 2 other identical fans, and I got one of the 3.
Shortly after, I bought two fans from a fellow collector that isn't on here, but John Reed knows him. He sold me a white Hunter Passport II from 1995, and a PB Quorum Decorum/Q52 from the late 1990s. The Passport II once belonged to Cole S., he sold it to this collector, and I bought it off of the collector.
In December, I found an NIB white 60" Hampton Bay Industrial, branded Commercial Electric, from 2001 for $45 from a local shop.
In early March, Lowe's was having a clearance on some of their older fans. I got a pair of Harbor Breeze 52" white builder fans on clearance (they came as a twin pack in one box) that were originally $80 on sale for $40. My particular fans were produced in 2014,
In late March, Lowe's was having a clearance of their display model fans. One of those fans was a Harbor Breeze Blue Hill DC fan, which was manufactured by Fanimation, dated 2012. I paid $60, and it was originally sold for $215. It's never been used, as it's just been on their display (I have the tag for it when it was on display as well). It's in good shape except for some marks on the blades from being moved around on the display. It didn't come with a remote control, but I contacted Fanimation and they sent me the remote control that goes with it.
Also in late March, I saw an ad for a free 42" ceiling fan on my local Craigslist. I responded to the ad, and got a 42" white Crest 2000 Series that needs work, The guy told me he was remodeling his den/office, and the fan was already in his house when he moved in in 1991. He was remodeling the den/office, and replaced the fan while he was replacing everything else. He wanted to see the fan go to someone who could use it. I think it was well worth it being free.
The same weekend, I went to my local Goodwill, which regularly doesn't have ceiling fans (they're not apparently allowed to accept ceiling fans, except for if they're NIB), and they had a 42" white Harbor Breeze Cheshire, and a Hampton Bay Grayton II, both for $15 each. I got the Grayton II, which is dated 2003.
The highlight came this past weekend, when I saw a 52" black Hunter Classic Original for $50. I responded to the ad, and got it on Saturday. It's from 1998, and is 4B/5B. The guy told me it came out of a beautiful old home that belongs to his friend, and they ha an interior designer come in and recommended upgrading all of the lighting fixtures in their home. I've always wanted one, and now I finally have one! This makes my second Original, the first being a 52" 2-speed Chestnut Brown version that came of out my Great Uncle Vince's house.
The other thing to mention is that coming soon is a 50" white 5B Casablanca Delta II from Mark Welker, which is being shipped to me this week. I can't wait to receive it!
Pictures to come soon, I've been so busy, I haven't had time to take them! Just thought I'd post a little update.
