GE Vent Chunkness

[Adam D.]

Torn between Evergo/Union or Ritz.. I lean more towards Ritz due to the blades.. What ever the case may be, it's defiantly an early imported GE vent chunky ceiling fan.. Speed knob is missing and she wants $30 for it.. Lowest I could get her down from $50.. Not sure if this thing is worth the drive all the way to south west Miami either..

Humm very nice and chunky! There was something very similar for sale in my area.

So I drive all the way to Miami.. When removing the blades I notice not all screws were the same.. At least 3 different types of screws, and it looks like some larger ones that most likely made some of the holes bigger.. Not sure what that's all about.. The thing is clearly an early Evergo/Union GE vent.. No label anywhere and the Moss style wicker blades could either mean someone at some time replaced the blades, or mixed matched them, perhaps maybe Moss did business with Evergo/Union for a very short time, and the fan is a Heirloom or perhaps Evergo did at one time use that style.. I probably should not have gotten this..

Adam, at least the fan looks clean and relatively untarnished

Is that a sloped ceiling mount? It looks to have a big motor too. I like those big cast iron spinner motors.

It's the same mounting Evergo used on early Banana Fans..

The screws situation is unfortunate, but it's still a really nice piece..

It looks like a St. Louis to me...

Absolutely not. It's definitely Evergo/Union.

That's a beautiful fan! Love the cane and the thick switch housing! You're lucky to own this fan!
