Vintage Fan Ads: Gulf Breeze, Sears, True Value

[JW]

From Gulf Breeze (Florida) magazine ads:

Single bar moon bracket fan from 1981:


Spinner with Toastmaster style motor, Evergo style brackets, no switch housing, and a wall control:


Drawing of same fan:



From a Sears ad:





True Value Hardware ad from 1983 featuring a 36" Emerson and an Original (same fans appeared in a 1982 ad):

Some of those Gulf Breeze fans I'd like to find.

The plastic 36" emerson was 3 speed? It sold for cheaper at that True Value than at my local one.

The Sears Fans look very nice in those pictures.

Apparently that one was, unless it's a typo... all mine are two speeds, even the ones with KB55 (1895 type) motors.

I think it was either a typo or the person writing ad copy simply didnt pay attention to the details of the fan.

Those Gulf Breeze fans are interesting. I never knew there was a Gulf Breeze fan company. Gulf Breeze is in the FL panhandle and is popular for its "UFO" sightings
