Two of these odd relabeled TAT Deluxe ceiling fans, and one that's not a relabel as it has the "TAT Deluxe" sticker on the side and the half moon blade brakets.. Even the hole spacing for the blade brackets are different between the TAT Deluxe and the Relabels.. The one that's not a relabel with an out of clock blade (Which I've bent back into shape) has had the pull switch replaced at one time with one that doesn't work right with it as it's missing high speed and starts off with low and medium speeds and two off positions... These old TAT Deluxe ceiling fans are equipped with those old Leviton pull switches which are very solid pull switches.. The original pull switches on the others have the year 1981 on them.. These fans could be from 1981 or 82.. The one with the light kit was an addition that was added in 1990 as it's dated Jan 1990 and was purchased at Kmart as it has the old logo.. The two fans with blades with the wicker inserts which is kinda odd.. These fans were right down the street from me in a condo building right off the main road that leads to the beach.. Hard to believe these were installed there all that time.. Almost 40 years..

Oh dang I had two of those still at my ReStore, never knew they were Tats. They dont seem to have a label on the side as well, but thats neat to see. nice finds!

These are the second generation of the TAT Deluxe.. The first generation model is a bit heavier and is variable speed.. They started using ball and socket mounting during the second generation models (in 1983 I believe), than a short while after they started making them with more (Square style, less roundish) switch housings, and in 1985 they started not giving them vent holes on the top part of housing and using stamped motors instead of cast, and sometime after that in the late 1980s into the early 90s is when TAT distributed them to Home Depot as the Landmark.. Which style are the ones at your local Habitat?

They were pretty much like the one that you have Labeled Tat Deluxe. I think one was Ball/Socket which was White/Brass and the other with a Bell canopy was AB. Not sure about the controls but they weren't variable speed if I'm correct.

[Adam D.]

You should get them.. They are early 80s with cast iron motors..

The two with the different blade brackets are weird, yet cool... it also appears that they might be earlier or later models due to the motor hole spacing being closer together than the one on the far left.

[Adam D.]

Yes.. The really early TAT deluxe ceiling fans have the wider spacing but also have regular half moon brackets.. Not sure if that's in relation to the hole spacing.. But those brackets are also seen on other weird TAT ceiling fans such those odd TATs with Bananafan style vents..
