That's what we here 'round these parts like to call a 'deal'.

Went back for a second work day today: The blade shelf before I got rid of a BUNCH of damaged, ruined, or matchless blades: I'll have an "after" picture after a day or two of more work on it. Most of the blades need a thorough cleaning. We got another one of those Codep looking things - this one in AB with 4 white blades. These fans are HEAVY. I may end up getting this one, if not both of them. I remembered that they made them in both 4 and 5 blade configurations, but I forgot that they were 3-speed and not variable: The two side by side: An unusual skinny blade with concealed hole brackets (there are four). It looks like the fan would be around 46-48"... maybe a smaller cheap Moss? Single bar builder size brackets??? There are five blades (maybe six but not positive)... Weird brackets, presumably from a flush-mount. They were in horrible shape and thus were scrapped, but I got some pics nevertheless. Anyone have any ideas? Unusual blade tips; I've never seen a pointed-tip this round before. Very early Casablanca perhaps? The brackets were all beaten to you-know-what, so that's probably not likely. I also think this blade is bent and that's why it looks weird along the sides. Weird Reversaire brackets. You don't have to push them in to reverse them - the ballbearing simply clicks into the hole. Are these Hunter or a knockoff? If they are Hunter, are they a prototype, an early version, or a late version of Reversaire? Did they have another name? Anybody see anything they might be interested in? I can make separate threads for some of these if need be. They don't open again until January 2 but once everything is finally cleaned up I'll get better pics of what's actually available. There are three CEC/Toastmaster spinners that are pretty bulky and seem to be in pretty good shape that we have for $15 each. There's also an AB Zephyr that's almost MINT that I'll probably pick up myself. We also have a couple of small white Encon CG's with SKINNY non-ornate brackets which are currently not pictured anywhere on here to my knowledge. We got them in last week, although the donors didn't include the control boxes. We have too many builders and Craftmades.

The blade shelf before I got rid of a BUNCH of damaged, ruined, or matchless blades: I would put those all in a bin and sell them, $0.25 a piece. People will buy them, to paint and use as decorations, or whatever. We got another one of those Codep looking things - this one in AB with 4 white blades. These fans are HEAVY. I may end up getting this one, if not both of them. I remembered that they made them in both 4 and 5 blade configurations, but I forgot that they were 3-speed and not variable: You should get them both, or at least the five blade (it's more unusual). Since they were a fan you asked about, remember, and seem to have some attachment to. An unusual skinny blade with concealed hole brackets (there are four). It looks like the fan would be around 46-48"... maybe a smaller cheap Moss? Doubtful it's a Moss, with open brackets and concealed holes. Maybe an earlier Craftmade. Single bar builder size brackets??? There are five blades (maybe six but not positive)... 90s JCPenney, I think. Weird brackets, presumably from a flush-mount. They were in horrible shape and thus were scrapped, but I got some pics nevertheless. Anyone have any ideas? The brackets look Codep-ish. Unusual blade tips; I've never seen a pointed-tip this round before. Very early Casablanca perhaps? The brackets were all beaten to you-know-what, so that's probably not likely. I also think this blade is bent and that's why it looks weird along the sides. Why dont you think they're Casablanca? Weird Reversaire brackets. You don't have to push them in to reverse them - the ballbearing simply clicks into the hole. Are these Hunter or a knockoff? If they are Hunter, are they a prototype, an early version, or a late version of Reversaire? Did they have another name? I know Classic Fans made a Reversaire knockoff, these could be it. I thought they had half-moon brackets, though, not horseshoe. There were plenty of Original knockoffs, so maybe more Reversaire knockoffs? Anybody see anything they might be interested in? I like the Emerson Casablanca Classic, the Crompton Greaves, the Evergo/Envirofan with the schoolhouse globe, and quite possibly a lot of the blades. What is the fan hiding behind the chandelier? I can make separate threads for some of these if need be. They don't open again until January 2 but once everything is finally cleaned up I'll get better pics of what's actually available. Of course I would love this. There are three CEC/Toastmaster spinners that are pretty bulky and seem to be in pretty good shape that we have for $15 each. There's also an AB Zephyr that's almost MINT that I'll probably pick up myself. We also have a couple of small white Encon CG's with SKINNY non-ornate brackets which are currently not pictured anywhere on here to my knowledge. We got them in last week, although the donors didn't include the control boxes. We have too many builders and Craftmades. Grab the Zephyr, Crompton Greaves are also a good look. Any of the spinners have lower canopies? Any industrials? Any variable speed or flywheel fans? Thanks again JW for another great thread. It is very much appreciated.

How did I know you were going to ask me that... It could be worse. I am waiting on Kevin to ask about all the spinners and builders, then say "ok ok ok ok ok ok".

Wait a second, if those Reversaire blades are 36", then they're Hunter. My 36" Reversaire has horseshoe brackets you dont push in. I forget if you push in the 38" ones, all my other Reversaires are 52".

The 38" reversaire brackets work the same way the 52" work, they need to be pushed in. I've never dealt with the 36" reversaire brackets.

[The single bar brackets are] 90s JCPenney, I think. The 90s JCPenney brackets I remember have the bar but are flat across the top except for where the lines intersect. Fanimation has a similar bracket currently, but it is completely flat across the top. Why dont you think [the weird blades are] Casablanca? The brackets looked poorly made - i.e. screw holes badly drilled and, judging from the way all four of them were bent, not made from good metal. They were also full length but without the characteristic "taper" near the bottom screw hole - although admittedly there were some similar brackets on another set of blades that were almost certainly Casablanca. Maybe these were all off some of the very first flywheel Casas. I like the Emerson Casablanca Classic, the Crompton Greaves, the Evergo/Envirofan with the schoolhouse globe, and quite possibly a lot of the blades. What is the fan hiding behind the chandelier? An incomplete builder and a Ward/Evergo 4E3LW. The Casablanca Classic needs a LOT of TLC - I may pick it up myself. Any of the spinners have lower canopies? Any industrials? Any variable speed or flywheel fans? a) Not to my knowledge, although there is a Tatung available; b) No. c) Just the aforementioned Zephyrs, Old Jacks, and Patton. The Emerson 1895 Series has Lasko shaped brackets which interlock... does this mean it's older or newer? I'm going to put some extra Fasco blades on it and get it cleaned up. I have a section of incomplete fans "carved out" that I asked them to put "NOT FOR SALE" on while I assemble and/or work on fans I've placed back there. That 1895 is back there along with two newer Hunters (not Originals). And yes, the 38" brackets must be pushed in as Andrew said. I own a set of which I've previously shown pics.

The 90s JCPenney brackets I remember have the bar but are flat across the top except for where the lines intersect. Fanimation has a similar bracket currently, but it is completely flat across the top. I think you're right. I wasnt aware of the current Fanimation brackets. Loyal, then? The brackets looked poorly made - i.e. screw holes badly drilled and, judging from the way all four of them were bent, not made from good metal. They were also full length but without the characteristic "taper" near the bottom screw hole - although admittedly there were some similar brackets on another set of blades that were almost certainly Casablanca. Maybe these were all off some of the very first flywheel Casas. Yes, that sounds like early Casablanca to me. But it could very well be something else. Are they particularly heavy, or light? An incomplete builder and a Ward/Evergo 4E3LW. The builder has the brown oak blades? a) Not to my knowledge, although there is a Tatung available; b) No. c) Just the aforementioned Zephyrs, Old Jacks, and Patton. I would grab all of 'c'. The Emerson 1895 Series has Lasko shaped brackets which interlock... does this mean it's older or newer? I'm going to put some extra Fasco blades on it and get it cleaned up. I have a section of incomplete fans "carved out" that I asked them to put "NOT FOR SALE" on while I assemble and/or work on fans I've placed back there. That 1895 is back there along with two newer Hunters (not Originals). Honestly I dont know which 1895 came first. Does it have the older canopy, the newer canopy, or is it missing? I would assume the type of brackets that are on the TOC 1895s are older.

Oh, I guess you're talking about that 5 blade thing with 3 lights. That's a generic POS.
The canopy is ball and socket on the 1895. If I remember correctly, the canopy cover is shaped like a cylinder (similar to metal blenderfan canopies).

All I can see is blades, and I THOUGHT I saw a bell canopy. Guess I was wrong.

I like the Codep 4 blades but I Hate the mix of antique brass with white blades its ugly. What size are they and when they were made? Is the 5 blades one larger than the 4 blades one? Is that a Craftmade Decorative on 18e picture? I really like it. They looks SO nice with 4 blades. I believe that if its 4 blades only it would be a older one. I still don't get why mine is 5 blades only!
