Perhaps yours is a Hacienda? Does it look anything like the fan on Matthew's site? Or perhaps an older version of "The Decorator" or whatever it's called? Anyhow, the Nutone Adam has is one of the more classic models. I really want one of the very first Nutones, which were a brown and brass spinner design with dark cane blades . . . and one of the older versions of the fan Adam has, what's more ornate.

And i saw a spinner ceiling fan with those kind of brackets aswell. Did the spinner fan have a standard design with a large switch housing? Or was the bottom of the motor brass, the top brown, and the blades cane? If the latter, then PLEASE send me a picture, I am looking for that fan. If the former than it was probably the slimline. You sure the brown and brass version you saw didnt have a bell canopy? I wasnt aware they made the later versions (ball socket) in brown and brass. But Ryan Sipka is the expert. email me mtneuman@mailbag.com Dan

the spinner fan i saw was almost all white except for the blade holders. iIt did have a large switch housing. The brown and brass version definitely had a ball bracket mouynting system. The fan was on a sloped ceiling and i could see the hanger ball pretty clearly. And i do have a pic of the fan but my scanner doesn't work right.

The spinner fan was the Nutone Slimline . . . same motor as their older industrial fans, but with a big fat switch housing and four wood blades. The other fan . . . was it three speed or variable speed? Ornate or plain?

Just like the one Adam has, variable speed and ornate. And the fan Adam has, the canopy is definitely not original to the fan. the canopy cover looked remotely similer to the Lasco "turn of the century" fans. I have one, except it needs a new switch housing and one blade to make it work right.

Andrew, small world! That NuTone you saw at an AC Expressway rest stop I have seen for years. (I am in Ocean City almost every weekend) Two of them in the Burger King, right? Well They are both in the dumpster now, they tore the building down before I had a chance to get either one of them. The one was burned out anyway, and the working one wasnt in great shape. But I knew the place was getting leveled and rebuilt, but they did it before I could get the fans. Tough luck...Just wanted to update. Raymond

One other thing...It was def. a ball and socket, and noticed that myself, and variable speed. There were two pullchains, but the one for the fan was multi-pupose. One pull did the fan, next pull did light, next pull turned on both, and last pull all off. Kinda like some Casablanca's years back. Also, a family friend of mine has the EXACT one in her dining room with the lights (variable speed broke though)...She said she would never part with it b/c when it was new it was a fortune...oh well

And the canopy on Adam's is not original . . . the original canopy to those fans looks like the plastic canopies Emerson used, only ball/socket. The some had a bell canopy that was more or less identical to the Emerson canopies, only deeper and metal. And the older Nutones, the ones I like, had a cone-shaped bell canopy that was ribbed.

Raymond Shame you couldnt save the fans, I'm sure they could have been repaired. A community center I used to volunteer had one of the real old variable speed Nutone Verandas (the cone shaped canopy I mentioned) brown and brass, 36" in one of the storage closets (must have used to been an office). It worked although one of the blade brackets was bent. The woman that ran the place promised me when the remodeled, I could have the fan . . . but she quit and then they tore the building down

I only have two fans that have broken switch housings. A lasko and an Evergo. I found the Evergo in a dumpster. I didn't find the blades though, so I only have the white motor.
And the Nutone Scoville was also made in antique brass. I saw a bunch of them at a restaurant in Ocean City, MD. They were mixed with a variety of different fans from the 70's to 80's era, like a couple old Fasco Charlestons, a few hampton bay landmark fans, and I think I also saw a Hunter there too. The Nutone had a bell canopy.

Oh, and Raymond, I'm not sure that the other fan was burnt out. All I saw was that the pull chain was broken, but that was it.
