Oh look, backlog. First, we have the seldom-seen/heard of 42" Hunter Custom Home. Dated 1989. Someone damaged the original canopy (ripped off one of the twist-lock tabs), which allowed me to haggle it down from $30 to $6 at what is ordinarily a rather expensive Habitat. Moss Hi-Line (Deluxe?). 5-blade, cast-iron spinner motor. Oh look, my first silly Panama. Dated March 1988, 5-blade only. The only reason I got it was because it was $8 sans IT control and canopy. I'll probably cannibalize it for parts. 52" Universal spinner, made by Shi Chen. Teak cane blades, variable-speed. These seem to be rather uncommon. At one of the Habitats, there was a pile of assorted crap sitting in the lighting section. Amongst said pile of crap were these Hunter motors. Left: Hunter Biarritz, dated 1986; right: Hunter Biarritz Low Profile, dated 1987. They wanted $10 each (usually too much for just a motor), but these were scarce enough to be worth it. Palm-Air wood-housing thing; plucked out of the trash. Queer ornate 5-blade Evergo with what turns out to be an OEM flush-mount kit that utilizes the old 2-piece bell canopy and a stubby downrod. Dated 1986, cast-aluminum spinner motor. Little 36" Evergo 4E-3LW. It seems like anything other than 48" is uncommon. Dated January 1983. Universal 48" spinner. Not sure who makes this thing. Sadly, the motor has a bad coil, giving it that dreaded "BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ(...)BUZZ" sound.

Typical of you to find all the rarities! I absolutely adore that 42" Hunter Custom Home. What finish do the blades reverse to, just wondering? Also, I would be interested in seeing more pictures of that 48" Universal spinner.

Love them all.. I've never seen one of those Shi Chens with a variable speed control like that.. I wonder if it has the toggle reverse switch?

Also, I would be interested in seeing more pictures of that 48" Universal spinner. Space constraints have caused me to focus on the weird/rare. The blades reverse to walnut. I'll have more pics of the Universal soon enough. Love them all.. I've never seen one of those Shi Chens with a variable speed control like that.. I wonder if it has the toggle reverse switch? It has a normal reverse switch. The variable-speed knob is metal, like something off of a stereo system of the same era.

Were the later 42" Custom Homes five bladed like the later 42" Summer Breezes?

Backlog: 3rd gen. Charleston I got a couple months ago, dated March 1988. Another one to add to the collection of weird. Kenroy thing; talked them down to $5 due to the fact that someone thought it was a brilliant idea to drop it on the floor fully-assembled and break the switch housing. My first non-yellow plastic Emerson, new in its wrappings. Dated 5/25/82.

Very cool find on the four blade Fasco Charleston III. It's just like the one I saw in a shopping mall in New York City in 2008. I hope this fan is still there. It's the only Fasco I saw in person so far.
