Did some fan hunting today. Here is what I found: This all copper fan. Identical to an early Moss, very similar to an early Ritz, but labeled Broan:  This Leslie Locke NIB:  This Lasko NIB, I didnt know they were boxed without lights:  These K63 Broadways. They're in rougher shape than they look, and that downrod is 6'. Can someone confirm there was only 500 of these (K63 first edition) made? Also, who bought the two on eBay recently?  This Leslie Locke. I've always wanted a brass one of these, and this is the first time I found one reasonably priced. Cole, dont you have the one from Bauer? We should find a place to install both in the same room:  This Casablanca Victorian. It's K55 but I'm pretty certain it's NOT Slumber Quiet. I havent opened it yet:  These NIB industrials, labeled Airmasters. They look like a cross between Pro-Lines and ConTechs:  These arent for sale but I will entertain offers on everything except the Broadways. I WILL NOT SELL OR TRADE THE BROADWAYS. Cole, if you want to borrow them, you can. |

I love the victorian and the moss. The Leslie Locke is so cool.

Yes, I have that brass Leslie Locke from Bauer. Cost me like $30, but it was a highly sought out childhood fan for me at the time.
Ouff, those Broadways are pretty rough. That 6' downrod is ridiculous! Where would that have been installed?! My dad and grandpa would absolutely love those things, they're both intrigued by big, ornate fans like this.

The Broadways are much rougher than they appear in pictures. They ARE restorable however. Want a project?  |

The industrials are definitely relabeled Nutone prolines, I used to have one of them.

Awesome haul, Dan! Lots of cool stuff. There really isn't anything I don't like. ;D I should think not! I left lots of cool stuff there too, there were Universals, U42s, DC42s, SMC Emperors, Moss spinners, Toastmaster spinners, CEC spinners, lots of Design Houses, Hunters, an 1895, etc etc etc etc. |

Updates:
1. The copper Broan is sufficiently non-Ritzy and less Mossey to add to the mystique. First of all it uses a non-threaded downrod and a slide reverse switch. Most of the fans I've seen similar to this one had a threaded downrod and pullchain reverse. Secondly, the variable speed control is not a cardboard box but a very weird circuit board I've never seen before, with a modular plug.
2. The Victorian is Slumber Quiet. I've never seen a Slumber Quiet one with these blade brackets and light kit before.
3. The Broadway with the long downrod is in far worse shape than the one with the short downrod. It had to have been hanging outside or perhaps near a pool.

That is a good haul! Did you find them all in one place?
What's the story on those industrials, are they decent? What size are they?

56". Pretty good quality. Heavy cast iron motors.
IMO the biggest quality difference between industrials = cast iron motor vs. stamped steel (or worse) motor. Cast iron motors dissapate more heat.

Seems like there's a lot more choices in 56". I might be able to use a 56" on my patio, but I think it's a little tight in my garage for that.

I fit two 56" in my dad's 1 car garage. It's about creative placement and downrod length. There are a lot more choices in 56" but only one worthwhile choice  |
