I'll augment this description with pictures later.
Ornate motor housing on all sides-- top, bottom sideband. Thicker than most and slightly rounded on the bottom-- it reminds me of a Casablanca Broadway Limited or Commodore Vanderbuilt. But it's not that same shape (it's still wider than it is thick) and uses a conventional Homestead/Tara type flywheel. Almost like if you crossed one of those very early ornate Homesteads with a Broadway.
Canopy is very small and flat. Similar in shape to the tiny ball-socket canopies SMC and Evergo used, except it is bell and plain.
Standard (Casablanca-style) switch housing and 5 light 4 arm fitter in the style of the very earliest Casablancas. Arms come out of the switch housing itself if I'm not mistaken.
Variable speed, as above, standard flywheel.
4 blades. Blades are arch-end. Brackets are ornate in a Peerless-reproduction design. Those of you who have seen my Columbia, the brackets that came with it, that sort of design, only they're conventional arm-style brackets. Similar also to the brackets on the Calcutta that's been circulating eBay.
Speaking of which, the closest thing I have seen is the Calcutta from eBay . . . but it's by no means the same fan. Among other differences that can be noted from the above, the Calcutta has a slightly cheap feel to it, it almost looks as though certain parts are made of plastic. This fan I am describing is a very solid reproduction that could pass as an antique.
Anyone seen anything?
