I think that Fan could be a Moss fan. I think i've seen in the gallery in dan's group and Moss had made fans like that. I'm assuming that it is.

I saw a fan similar to that back in the mid 1980s at a local department store, and that very fan hung right next to a Moss WF series, so it could well be a Moss/Ritz. Also, I used to call fans that looked like that (IE Emperors) "turtle fans" since they looked like the color of shells of various turtles; in antique brass that is. |

When I was younger I used to call them Montery fans because I had an Enconcatalouge that had their last line up of fans (1995 I think is when they were bought out by Westing House) and that is what Encon named their "Emperor". I also always saw them with those five light fixtures (the ones with the 3 1/2 inch globes in the center). |

From what I've seen, you seem to have a lot of "Turtle fans" in your collection, Sean  |

The Hampton Bay "Genoa" series looked very similar to this type of fan, except for the canopy. Hence another "turtle fan" I think they were discontinued after 1996 along with the GE vent Landmark series at Home Depot  . Those were my 2 favorite Hampton Bay fans. Also, my uncle has a white "Marco Island" from Lowe's in his bedroom. I'll try to get a pic of it sometime. |

I was going to go into a big long tirade about how it's not a Ritz or a Moss. But the thing is, at some point during the 80s most companies switched production of fans from Hong Kong to Taiwan, and therefore switched factories. It was the Hong Kong factories that had the very distinctive characteristics by which to identify fans-- the huge green Ritz motor, etc. Once they switched production it's pretty much impossible to tell which brand made made what because everything changed.
This fan looks Taiwanese to me. If it's *not*, it's not a Ritz or a Moss.
BTW the later Ritz fans were made by TAT.
