i used to have a k63 zephyr with pretzel brackets back in 2007/2008,i got it at the goodwill then.

They must've been using leftover parts... I know the Columbia I/II or whatever that I saw was K63.

Here are the rest of my sightings:

There are two major shopping districts in Myrtle Beach: Barefoot Landing, in North Myrtle Beach, and Broadway at the Beach, in Myrtle Beach.

Aside from the restaurants in both places, here are some of my sightings:

At Barefoot Landing:

-A knick knack shop called The Mole Hole had two interesting-looking unknown white 52" builder fans with interlocking crescent-moon blade arms, non-detachable switch housings, 4 or 5 blade capacity, the traditional thin builder fan housing, and the 2-hole canopy. One of them was replaced by a white Hampton Bay Quick Connect, using the builder fan's canopy, down rod, and mounting, and I suppose one was removed and a metal ceiling cap put in its place.

-The General Store had many different fans. There was a plain unknown AB 52" 5-blade builder fan with a 4-arm light kit on it that had the typical builder fan housing, but a flat bottom faceplate, a non-detachable switch housing, and a 2-hole canopy. I suppose there were quite a few of these, but all of them were replaced by bronze Hampton Bay 52" Glendales except for the one, and a bronze Harbor Breeze Bellhaven II. They also had an enclosed patio/porch area that wrapped around the entire store, and had 2 Hampton Bay Littletons without the globes. One Littleton was supposedly replaced fairly recently by a 42" white Hampton Bay Glendale, and it's the first time I'd ever seen one in person. There was some outdoor 52" builder fan on the front entrance area, and a fan that was supposedly ripped out over the rear entrance area.

-A store selling all bamboo items appropriately had 3 nickel Fanimation Madreas or Big Islands (the ones with vents on the bottom housing and a spinner motor).

-A wine shoppe had 2 nickel Harbor Breeze 42" Centrevilles, and a bronze 42" Walmart hugger at the front of the store.

-An information stand had some of those generic 6" black 12V car/boat fans installed in it.

-Tiki Jim's (a store selling misc. things) had a custom-painted brown Litex 52" Builder's Series from the early 2000s, and 2 custom-painted brown Harbor Breeze 52" Caleras (older-style from the mid-2000s) in the "Tiki Area" that most likely replaced a Litex. The store also sold those Deco Breeze decorative desk fans that are overly priced.

-All other stores pretty much had builder fans installed in them.


And at Broadway at the Beach:

-The knick knack store (The Mole Hole) mentioned before also has a second location. In this location, there were 8 unknown white 5-blade GEV builder fans with non-detachable switch housings and 2-hole canopies at one end of the store, and 4 Hunter Green Emerson Northwind Designers (2 with AB light kits) at the other end of the store.

-Outside the Build-a-Bear Workshop, there were 4 or so 52" Emerson Summer Nights (Northwind-style) in Appliance White.

-A car-themed store had 4 or 5 new-style matte black Harbor Breeze Classic Styles.

-A jewelry store had 2 white Hunter Piedmonts with the non-AirMax motors, 2 white Hunter Silent Breezes (the ones that Lowe's sold in the early to mid 2000s), and a white Farmington (the unbranded one) that recently replaced a Hunter (it has the newly-styled generic pull chain and no Hampton Bay badge anywhere on it).

-Another store had a few white 44" Hunter Coastal Breezes.

-All other stores pretty much had builder fans installed in them, most of which happened to be very early Harbor Breeze Builder's Bests in either AB, white, or white/PB.

-MR Ducks, which has many stores in Ocean City, MD, had a store in Myrtle Beach, and had a single and oddly-placed AB Harbor Breeze/Litex Pulsar hugger with a schoolhouse light kit installed.

Pictures will be next!

Also to note is that I visited the Myrtle Beach (Horry County), SC ReStore, which is housed in a newer building which was most likely built for ReStore, and has a furniture showroom in the front, and a warehouse in the back where the fans were. All of the fans were newer junk (52" white builder fans, 52" Litex FPV builders, a 52" nickel builder fan, and a bronze? Harbor Breeze Baja), and all fans were priced at $20 unless they were otherwise marked. There were 2 42" white Plastic Emersons (CF-2042s), and I bought one of them for $20. They had a ton of blades, motors only, and other misc. junk as well, probably also all priced at $20. I'm just happy that I got to leave with something in hand.

i wish you bought the other one too

No sense in buying two fans when they're both the same.
