I was installing new ceiling fans in a customers house and they allowed me to keep one of the old fans. I've been trying to identify the model and so far I've narrowed it down to it being a California Zephyr (2622t) built in August of 91'. However, none of the 2622t's I've found online have a lighting kit that matches the one I've got. Does the lighting kit in the attached picture look familiar to anyone?
The finish is a bit worn, so I was considering respraying it to an oil rubbed bronze, but seeing as I can't find any other fans like this one, I don't want to go ahead and do that on the off chance I'm sitting on an uncommon piece and diminish the value of it.
Would really appreciate some input, thanks in advance!

DO NOT PAINT OVER THAT LIGHT KIT That is a Casablanca KG26-2 Corinzia Light kit that is gold plated. Quite a few collectors will pay well for that light kit if it also has all the glass. I believe $100-$200 range with shipping is the average price that one of those lights will go for. ![]()  |

Well, I'm currently kicking myself. This was initially going to go into my master bedroom which it was perfect for so I jumped the gun and went ahead with the refinishing since I was bored, but it's turning out beautifully so it's whatever I suppose. Turns out they never threw out the other fixtures though, and would love me to get rid of them for them so depending how well they handled the other fixtures as far as storage went, I'll have more of them, glass and everything beautifully intact! I'll definitely be consulting this forum and keep my boredom at bay next time. I'm positive I'll have more finds along this line given the clientele I've found myself getting involved with lately.
Wish I didn't tarnish such a beautiful fixture with such value, but you live and learn I suppose. Still going to love seeing this one in my bedroom everyday. I appreciate your help with identifying the lighting kit!

I appreciate your help with identifying the lighting kit! Well that's unfortunate. If you have not sanded away the 24k gold finish prior to painting you technically might be able to save it using certain chemicals. If anything you can probably get $50-100 flat out of the light fixture itself because the glass is still pretty desirable (As it goes missing/broken for some people). If there does happen to be other fixtures from said people, I would actually be interested in purchasing something myself as I have been looking for one of those lights for years. |
