You know, that is a pretty darn cool fan.  Looks good with the Moss blades. |

On another note my local bowling alley had 2 of these in white with stencil blades in the game room with the blades bent out of shape and they were never on. They also had some white with stencil blades nutone verandah IIs over the lanes that were replaced by white HB farmingtons so most likely the progresses are history as well.  there were also brushed nickel HB classics in the restaurant and a single HB 42" gazebo I outdoors over the restaurant entrance. |

It's about damn time someone else managed to find one of these..things.
The motor most likely is not brass, it's probably just a thin "brass" plate similar to the plastic hub cover on Emerson friction-drives. The motor itself is the powerful, olive green cast-iron Ritz motor.
Also, the brass plated finish on these things SUCKS.

nice grab Cole! is that motor on that fan brass?! It's the normal green spinner motor inside, there's just a decorative PB plate between the motor and the blade arms, held into place by the blade arms themselves. |

Cole, did you buy a Fasco to along with this purchase like you were planning? I didn't yet. They didn't really go as low as I wanted on the Progress, so I was gonna let it sit for awhile and maybe they'll let it go for less later. Plus, Patrick I think said he was gonna get it, so I wasn't gonna take it out from underneath him. I think the listings ended, I couldn't find them last night, haven't checked again today. If no one gets the FASCO if it shows up again I think I might, depends on if I can get to Minneapolis to get the fans Dan left behind for me at one of the usual spots. |

Yeah, the rarity of the box itself had me sold, I would have probably gotten it whole price still if they hadn't taken my offer... I really like it.

I keep looking at this fan thinking that their was a pizza place in my childhood with this fan but I can't put my finger on where it was. It somehow looks very familiar to me as well, but I can't place where I would've ever seen one. Maybe it's just one of those fans that looks like something you saw a million times before but haven't... IDK. |
