Hey guys! Been awhile since I posted anything. Been having alot of stuff going on but while I have the chance here's a fan I picked up yesterday. It was tossed away cause the light switch popped out. It did get a lil wet due to rain but it wasn't outside long but I whipped it down a.s.a.p. I never seen this lil fan before.S.M.C. A43 dates to march of 1983. Nice finish and still looks new. I did remove the light kit and will store this fan in a box. It's only missing the hook but this is a neat fan. Everything on it down to the blades and holders are in good shape. How y'all like it!  |

*DROOLS*  I've known of the existence of the A-42, but this is the first time I've actually seen one. The stamped-steel blade irons seem a little off, especially when combined with the beehive canopy. This thing looks eerily similar to the Progress 'apollo'... All I have left to say is... IIII WAAAAANT! |

Very nice. Those brackets are pretty strange.

Always wondered if an A-42 existed, amazing find there! The brackets are really weird, but it's so totally cool.

Very odd, unique, and rare.. I would have removed the light kit the minute I got it home to make it lightkitless..
