I live in Seattle. Ceiling fans were never extremely popular here like they are in warmer parts of the country. Most salvage stores don't accept them. Re-Store does, but it's rare to find more than two or three at a time at any Re-Store, and they're always nearly-new off-brand junk. Same at thrift stores. The only place good fans ever show up is Craigslist, and they're rare there.
Today I found a three-speed Casablanca Lady Delta at the one salvage store that occasionally accepts fans on the rare occasion that one comes in. Polished brass, Casa ring mount spotlight kit. 42" oak blades with older pointed tips. I'm hoping Dan's expression was Kodak-worthy when I texted him and asked, "Is a PB/oak 42" Casa Lady Delta, three-speed, with spot kit and all parts worth three dollars?"
Only trouble is, I've got nowhere to hang it. My house has thirteen fans installed, all of which are kept in place. There's no more room for another fan; my room alone has three. Not sure whether to search for a spot, or sell it to someone.
