Very nice that you were able to get those. The 1986-1987 version is awesome!

Mmm, MOAR. Saw this on the side of the road as part of some yard sale, so I thought why the hell not? $10 later... But of course, the remote is missing.. per usual. New Fan, packaged as Moss Tropical Breeze. Kenroy thing, apparently made by Fanthing. It's essentially a 36" HRS/Canarm industrial with 4 wood blades. It's a sleeper. Moss Heirloom, apparently related to Tyeb. Mmm, chunk. Queer 42" GE-vent, possibly View-Fan. For those who don't know, I've been looking for a round-motor 56" Union industrial FOREVER. This is a major childhood fan, having been the first industrial I ever saw. But wait, THERE'S MORE. What we have here is the THICK round motor, dating to the late 70s. This thing is a BEAST.. and a heavy one, at that; the motor weighs close to 30 lbs.

That's one of the neatest Moss Heirlooms I've ever seen.. The Moss Tropical Breeze, Emerson 1895 Series, Kenroy thingy, and the 56" Unions thing are all neat..

Once again, I say MOAR. Emerson Northwind: Great Room Fan; antique brass with walnut/oak blades. Prior to finding it, I was not aware that this thing existed. It's essentially an Alaska-made Emerson Northwind with 56" blades and a larger motor. Ooo shiny. Circa 1982, reversible. While traveling to pick something up for someone, I stopped at one of the most DISORGANIZED Habitats I have ever seen; parts were strewn everywhere, nothing was in one piece.. and nothing was 100% complete; so I had a little talk with the manager, told him that absolutely nothing was complete and that he had what amounted to a pile of scrap metal. Well, $30 later.. another pile of crap. Union Gulf Star; no blades. Cast-iron spinner motor and ball/socket. Circa 1984. This thing is absolutely INSANE. I slapped Casablanca blades on it (14 degree pitch) and it moved them at about 225 RPM. In other words, it's more powerful than a K55. Although, I'm kind of wondering if the capacitor had been replaced with a higher value (I doubt it, though). Chadwick/Union 48" round motor. Emerson Premium with integrated uplight; no blades or downrod. Mid-late 2000s, as it has a K55XL motor. Had an Air Design receiver of some sort in the switch housing, I swapped the electronics from another Premium. I'll probably slap a set of Fasco blades on it. Brass Delta II motor; I cannibalized it for its flywheel and 3-speed electronics. Snow white/brass Delta II motor, c. 1994; included everything except the blades...which I have, so it's essentially a complete fan. SMC A52 motor in rough shape and in need of new electronics. I honestly don't know why the hell I got this. Hang-Trus and a Fasco canopy.. wheeee. "Big-motor" Halsey footprint-vent hugger; large 188x20ish spinner motor. Blades aren't original, but they work. Antique brass Nutone Slimline; missing one blade, so I used a different set for the time being. 36" Evergo spinner, c. 1984; I think someone botched the pullchain replacement, as it's not running properly. Brown Nutone Slimline; early, non-reversible. Had everything but the mounting bits (as per usual). I like it more than I thought I would.

The Stuart habitat was starting to get that way until I complained too many times and now they hang the fans up on a rack hanging from the ceiling centered in the store in the furniture section.. Unfortunately if I was in your shoes, I probably would have walked out without buying anything and very pissed... I just can't have incomplete fans lying around to hopefully find parts for in the future which never happens.. I could careless about those 90s and modern Emersons and Casablancas, but that odd Union would have been a total let down.. The Slimlines look complete, and the fat hugger is kinda neat.. Can't ever go wrong with a dark brown and brass GE vent.. Gotta love that Evergo with an Emerson plastic canopy..

With most of these fans, I actually do have the parts to complete them.. so it's not as big of a deal as it may seem. Plus, it was $30 for the lot.. so it worked out for me. The plastic Emerson canopy on the Evergo actually does look oddly natural. Finding parts for the SMC is going to be a pain in the ass, though.. I should've left it behind.

I ended up giving a similar ornate AB/White version of that SMC to Matthew, All it was missing was the downrod. I forgot, actually two of them (the one that has the tat deluxe bell canopy).. Almost wish I didn't give it away, but I'm limited to space to store things.. I'm mostly getting rid of the more common stuff and stuff that's from the mid 1980s and up.. I even ended up giving those Casablanca Victorian Intellitouch fans to Matthew, that I really could have sold for a pretty penny, even for the control alone, but I just wanted them out.. My standards are much higher now.. I'm only keeping stuff and going after stuff that was made between the 1970s - 1984..

That Montgomery Ward spinner is gorgeous! I also particularly like that 36" Evergo.. Even with missing parts, that lot isn't a bad deal for $30
