I think I've seen one of those "Apollo" models before. The brown/PB combo.

I noticed the 52 inch pointed-end blades have arch-end stencil, kind of like Antica did, but the 38 inch ones have matching stencil. Very cool catalog!

Sorry, I worded that badly, I meant that the little blades' stencil matches the blade tip(pointed-tip blades have pointed-tip stencil.)

Thanks Dan, my first post may have been confusing though as well, so I clarified myself a little better.

Nice!
I remember these fans from Andrew's pictures. I think he was the only one to post pics of them. They seems rare.
So they have a Moss canopy and the switch housing is inspired from the Hunter Original. Noticed how the vents are very spaced on the Apollo.
They have nice and unique looking light kits but most of them are pretty large light kits and would looks too big to put on the 38'' ones.

Wow, can I just say, I would buy everything single light kit if I could. Finally I found a name to this damn fan. When I was a kid, there was a Seafood restaurant that had a lot of the antique brass apollo. What made them stand out was that orginals were mixed in with them. So I knew about the hunter but not about the progress. Nice to finally see them again

Stephen, if you want one, we can find you one, they turn up on Craigslist. I like the ornate ones myself.

So those fans use the heavy Ritz yellow-greenish direct drive motor right?
I'm a little disappointed about the RPM with the variable speed on these fans. I toughed that those variable controls could make fans goes even slower than 60RPM on low. Like 30-40RPMs. Because most of 3-speed pull chain controlled fans already goes at about 60RPM on low. To me the point of having a variable is that you can run you fans slower than most of preset speed fans goes. But the Casablancas with variable controls could goes slow like 30-40RPM I think.

The green Ritz motors spin at around 250 RPM WITH BLADES, they're unusually fast even at the lowest setting of the variable speed control in the switch housing. If you want the fan to go slower with the wall control, simply reduce the speed a little bit on the fan itself.

210 according to the catalog.
They're strong, fast motors. They can be slowed down pretty slow too. However most variable fans are set with a relatively high low speed, to prevent stalling out.
