While in Memphis for AFCA FanFair, my uncle noted my interest in fans and said he had 3 in the attic. Knowing the age of the home and when they got it (1950s and they bought it in the 70s) I suspected they wouldn't be of interest to me (my CFs are 1900-1920), but I climbed up there anyway. There they were, a Gulfstar Fantastic, a NuTone Scovill, and this ornate no label spinner. All are available. <img src="http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/187/187635/folders/292338/233993870sCFsunk1bottom.JPG" width="470" height="409"> <img src="http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/187/187635/folders/292338/233993970sCFsunk1top.JPG" width="470" height="352"> What is it??

My first guess is a Key Largo, but I'm stumped. There are no identifying badges or stickers on it anywhere? What about the blades and/or brackets?
In any case I'd wire it up, hook a light kit up to it, and see what the pull chains will do. Since there's a reverse switch, one of them is probably for the speeds and the other for fan/light combination. I'm assuming there's not a variable speed knob?
I've always seen those big heavy ornate switch housing caps in the thrift stores and what-not, but never knew what they went to. Guess I know now.
The NuTone (Scoville) is a Sea Island.
I've never heard of a "Gulfstar Fantastic" - do you have any more pics?

Key Largo. It's not a spinner. I'd be interested if you're selling.

Wow, clearly you missed Stephen's thread.
I doubt they'll sell for much, they're in poor shape and missing parts.

You still didn't tell him who Stephen is. I've been on the board since the beginning and I'm drawing a blank.
