My Habitat finally got something good in again, after about two months of no change. This Heirloom was somewhat overpriced for a place like Habitat, but I love Moss fans so much that I couldn't pass up a beauty like this. Condition is fair overall, has some wobble that I can't get balanced out and a little bearing noise, but it's really a very powerful and HEAVY fan. Also seems that the blades were painted or re-stained somehow? They seem to be very well done. I don't think they're totally black, in certain light they're dark brown and it almost looks like a stain. The fan came complete with the double-claw mount and a coolio Nutone wall control. I think the wall control is the same style as the one that controlled the Decorator in my old house, so it's nice to have.   |

Wow, the same exact one I have... Yeah! I went through them in the gallery again and I was thinking it was the same one. |

I've seen blades that color before. Probably original.
LOVE IT.

Hum I wonder If mine had those dark blades.. The blades on mine came from a Heirloom deluxe that I got off craigslist and was damaged in shipping (Broken switch housing), is pretty much the same as these fans.. I found two of these at Faith Farm, and both were missing the blades/brackets..

There was a restaurant in St. Louis I ate at that had about 6 of these Heirlooms albeit with 5L trumpet arm fitters. When I went to the restroom in the upstairs of the restaurant, the bar had a PB 5L Casablanca Victorian from 84, I believe, since it looks EXACTLY like the one I have.

That sounds awesome! LOVE 80s restaurants like that. Me too. Though some of those fans did somewhat wobble. I like those restaurants that leave some of their fans at rest and only rev some up. |

Beautiful! I love it! I saw the video, it's very powerful! Is it made in Hong Kong or Taiwan?
Oh double claw with a big classic bell canopy!

I'm guessing it has a chunk-ass cast-iron spinner motor? All it's missing is a chunky motor housing.....
