Hey guys. Major backlog for yall First off. I went to Reading, MA to pick up this Casablanca Ventura with Avalon blades. Seller told me she thought that the blades were too small for the room, but then she replaced it with a Tribeca (that matches the room perfectly but she doesnt like it cuz now its really small for the room lol). Whats different about this fan is that in 1999, the ventura wasn't available in a three speed. so its an anomoly. the flyhweel is pretty messed up as well so with the weight of the avalon blades, there was a major mishap during its function in reverse. November 1999 Since my black venus was starting to make noises, i changed it out to this Ventura with a K4B and newer Avalon blades Recently i went up to Lowell, MA to pick up three Panamas, one from 1986, one from 1998, and one from 2006. The sellers replaced all of their fans with Haikus. this was a GREAT install choice. The white Panama unfortunately has a burned out board. but every fan came complete. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the antique white 1986 panama. I needed something new like this in my collection lol As an anniversary gift, i want to install this Archive Original for my parents bedroom. I ended up buying an Original light kit off amazon for cheap. The blacks dont match but they are close enough lol Couple of days ago I went to visit my friend up in New Hampshire and I stopped at the nearest habitat. I was having bad luck with my girl so i needed some good luck today. I found this Brescia with the Mica light kit for 45 bucks. instantly i took it home with me and it works perfectly. Came right out of the 2005 catalog with the teak blades. December 2005 I also drove down to Plymouth, MA to pick up a washed bronze Lanai that was installed in a kitchen, Light kit doesn't work but it did come with a W811 Control. i couldn't tell when it was manufactured though After I was aware that the Ventura in my room was two differnt color whites, i decided to go ahead and install my Original. i bought pre drilled u brackets off ebay and i was going to use a Hunter original wall control but my mounting box wasn't capable for it. So i just installed it regularly on a rocker switch. im obsessed with it. definitely one of my favorite fans ever

As always great finds but these seem to be superb! Neat that both of the places at the top of your post at least replaced these fans with decent fans of todays market!

Pre 2000 Casablanca Venturas with pull chains are pretty rare indeed. I have two from the year 2000 with the detailed tags and concealed screws so they look like the one you got.

Back with some backlog 2 weeks ago, went up to Swampscott, MA on the north shore to pick up a last generation Mercury (December 1993) and a first generation Concentra (April 1998). The Mercury was disassembled when i got there so i built it back with the seller. The Concentra is in Florentine Verde, which was the only reason I picked it up lol. The Mercury didn't come with the light kit After I picked those up, i went down to go visit my girl. On my way to her house, i always pass by this house in Middleboro, MA that has been abandoned for at least six years. I stopped by just to check out what was inside and what i found was absolutely astounding. The property was bought by a buyer after the original owner passed. the new owner now sits on this property and doesnt do anything with it. but fast forward to 2 weeks ago, i went in the house and pulled out a Dayton Lasko for my buddy who has been looking for them for years. I also found a few generic fans as well as a verde Cameron ii in the attic. I would LOVE to buy up this property and fix it all up. looks like it used to be a beautiful house Came back home and tested the Casas Mercury came with this LCA So after my chocolate Original issue, Stephen V. from NoLa sent me this 1985 Reversible one in trade for my Next Gen Zephyr. works perfectly and I love the new install i did with it in my drum room. finally found the right fan to use my new chocolate Original globe. (absolutely love it) and the wing tip blades from my other chocolate Original Picked up a NIB studio Series Remote last weekend with mark wilson last week 4th quarter of 1995 Friday, i answered a craigslist Homestead haul. Consisted of 4 38" Brass Universals with white blades, 1 white Santa Cruz Remote with bleached oak blades, 1 white Wind II Remote with black blades, 1 brass Wind II with maple blades, 1 29" Brass Monterrey with 29" antique oak blades, and a black and brass Mirage with black blades. and a Homestead light kit. theres literally so much stuff up in my attic i can barely move around lol. but there is hope because people have bought up a ton of stuff so hopefully it should all be moving out soon This is the one Universal I decided to keep for myself. Dated May 1991 Saturday, i went down to Mashpee, MA to pick up three AB Nutone Slimlines. All from 1988. My plan is to triple install these in my attic but i need matching parts. so thats my next project. Tested the Wind II Remote I'm keeping for myself as well. Blades are going to another collector in trade for white ones. Looking for a Wind Drum Light kit if anyone has one. Dated December 1992 This switch turns the frequency from pull chain to remote Started testing the slimlines. All three had broken pull chains lol. but i replaced them all tonight

I've never been a fan of the verde although I respect the finish. However with that blade finish combination its very aesthetically pleasing!
