Here's a Westinghouse Splendor I got new in the box last July. I have been intrigued about this model since I first saw it at Réno-Dépôt in July 2010. It's the perfect exemple of what a typical early 1980's four wood blade 120 cm spinner without switch housing and with lower canopy would look like in the 21st Century.
I love how the bottom of the motor is plain. It's got the four blades, a classic spinner motor shape and a lower canopy like an equivalent of this would have had in the early 1980's mixed with a contemporary finish, contemporary style blades and an updated ball and socket mounting. It's got a reverse switch on the lower canopy like most of contemporary spinners without switch housings, it's remote controlled instead of using a 5-speed wall control hence the thick upper canopy. It's my first ceiling fan with an included remote control. The low speed provided by the module is unfortunately too fast doing about 90 RPMS. It's pretty powerful and moves an impressive amount of air for a contemporary fan doing about 210-220 RPMS on high.
It's got a style of bracket that is not meant to be visible like a lot of spinners had in the early 1980's and uses decorative flat rivets instead of a badge or ordinary screws showing on the bottom.
The wood blades reverses from a silver finish to a graphite finish. This is the silver finish showing.
Enjoy!
