I always like Moss Tropical breezes.. Looks like the blades with that sticky simulated wood.. That little Emerson I kinda like with that small looking switch housing..

That Summer Breeze is gorgeous, so is that $2 turd from Habitat, but that light kit is a little odd. Northwind is nice too

So one of those queer Litex 6-blade things surfaced: It's made by Air Cool, has a GE stack motor, is 5/6-blade and is 4-speed. Another one of those little chunk Moss/Ritz/CEC things. Sadly, this one has electrical gremlins that I need to weed out. My first Universal. I've come to realize that I only like the little ones (29" and 38" (seen here)). Fanthing; quite possibly, one of the more random things I've acquired lately. Aaand then there's this thing...: The seldom-seen (or heard of) SMC A42.

The Hunter Summer Breeze in the previous post is very nice! It's my favorite canopy for theses fans. How old is this one?
It's funny that the six blade Litex cabe be installed with five blades but not four.
Very cute Moss. What is the problem with it exactly?
Bravo on the SMC! The parts are weird. I don't like the brackets and the switch housing very much but it's still very cool that someone found another one.

Holy backlog, Batman! First off, we start with this gaudy Alaska thing. At first glance, I thought this thing was a turd; but then I decided to give it a closer look.. and lo and behold, it has the cast-aluminum motor. Why the hell do I have this thing? The world may never know. Aaand the boardwalk coughed up another one... Abando fan; yup, you know where this is going... Travels to Pittsburgh, comes back with more than I left with.. seems legit. Broan Mastercraft motor. Stamped-steel Airmaster/Safer; definitely inferior to the older Safers. 52" CEC, labeled Fairbourne Trading. Then, came the Habitats... Emerson Premium motors; for $5 each, they were mine. Gentlemen, BEHOLD! The Emerson "American Spirit"..[/Dr. Weird] FINALLY, I have acquired the 'childhood' Fasco Heat Cycler. It is a friggin' BEAST, it blows the Emerson Heat Fan out of the water. You know, just because I can... Oooh god... I managed to leave with two, only one was salvageable. The Harrisburg, PA Habitat has been quite fruitful, but I did not expect this. I ended up leaving with TWO black R&M Originals TOGETHER for only $5. Another Four Seasons.. wheeee. Oh look, ANOTHER abando fan. One of three I pulled out of another looney bin. My first Canarm/TAT, new-in-box. Manufactured 1986. The motor is far quieter than I expected. The blades weigh a metric crap-ton; the fan takes a while to get up to speed and takes over EIGHT MINUTES to coast to a stop.

The abandofans are nice, but what really stood out for me was the "Fascerson premium spirit ceiling fan". And nice original (both archive and C bracket).

BTW the four seasons is actually a Nassau. What's that? In 1990 when Casablanca made the Nassau, they were, for some mysterious reason, tagging them "Four Seasons". So that is why it is technically considered "Nassau" although the tag says four seasons. So: 4B only=Four seasons. 4/5B=Nassau, again disregarding the tag.

Also they never made the 4 Blade only four seasons with the stubby switch housing that you saw on some late 80s Casas, this one from 1990, and later intelitouch Casas.

Evidently, the "Nassau" name is absolutely irrelevant and should be completely ignored (in other words, stop using it). Regardless of the number of blades, this is a Four Seasons (and it dates to September 1988). Other models that were 4/5-blade towards the ends of their production runs were the Cambridge and Zephyr.

It dates to '88? Well, the flywheel must've been changed, because that is 2 years before Casablanca started calling four/five blade four seasons the nassau, let alone even have 4/5 blade four seasons Fans.

Allow me to put it this way: You...are...WRONG. So very, very wrong. The end. Casablanca started offering their fans as 4/5-blade in 1988, including the Four Seasons. This is a Four Seasons, end of story.
