Love the weatherite lookalike! This fan is identical to your "Weatherite" (except the canopies are steel, instead of silly plastic ( WHY does every fan in the UAE have plastic canopies?!)). This probably means that the Weatherite brand is just a re-label, as these things were re-labeled as "Dayton" and "Westinghouse" (at least as late as the mid 70s) in the US. It is said that these were actually manufactured by Marley.

Yeah, it's not a lookalike. It's the same fan with the US label.

Mine had mangled blades.
I wonder why, they are solid blades.

The weatherite we have here is just like the ones seen in australia, and they are manufactured by china cold storage industry in hong kong mangled blades? I have tons of these

Well, now we know the name of the factory Marley used. Marley was the importer for these under a variety of labels.

This thing looks to have the same shaped motor as those 4 Seasons Jean posts.. I've never seen these Taiwan made UFO shaped motored fans here in the states..

So many nice finds in this thread, My favorite are the 1930's originals.

Hmm, perhaps this was sold in Canada and brought to the US at some point?
