Started stumbling across ceiling fans today on my searches. I picked up almost any that I saw even just for the spare parts and components, then I can put out what I don't want for our pick up later in the week. I passed up a black Menards builder thing that didn't have much to salvage, and some blade sets that appeared to be Heritage. Parted out this HB: just took the sockets, globes, light kit screws, and switch housing components. Wasn't much else to salvage, all the screw heads are totally stripped that they won't move. No blades.  This something or other. Has a nice tassel in perfect shape, decent condition other than the painted blades, broken arm, and a canopy painted white.  Regency, don't know what I'll do with this. It's nice, but kinda bent up. No blades.  Hunter, by far the best ceiling fan I found today, but missing mounting bracket and blades, and of course the globe. Shouldn't be too difficult to get those parts, I always liked this finish.  |

I like a lot the brackets on the Hampton Bay. The shades are pretty cool too.
Oh yeah that Hunter is nice. It's got an Air Max motor.

Alright, so here's what I threw together on the Vista. Blades are spares I got some time ago, I think it's 54" or maybe even 56" with these blades, I don't remember offhand how much longer they were than normal ones. Stole the globe out of my NIB light kit, borrowed mounting from my Stonington just because it was handy and I don't have ANY of the mounting brackets that work with this canopy system. Runs great, just a little slower with the longer blades.  |

The second one looks gobe an Emerson Designer Series. The hunter is a vista. The regency is an MX excel, like the kind they use in subway. Nice fans!

I kinda like the second fan, too bad someone painted the blades. You find a lot of cfs in your area. Here, ceiling fans are rare in the trash since they are taken by scrappers in a heartbeat.

Scrappers are the main reason I spend so much time looking during this city-wide spring cleaning. Fans disappear fast if you don't get on top of them right away. Any other time throughout the year you don't see fans in the trash here because the city doesn't pick up piles on regular pickup unless specifically called, or people might even stuff them in the trash cans and I never even know they're there...

... What's this? Sideband has what I'd call a Saturn-esque pattern...  Says Kmart on the label  Another Marquis with the sweet ass light kit, surprisingly with all globes intact! It's so freakin dusty though, how anyone ever lets anything in their home get THAT dusty is beyond me.  |

It's so freakin dusty though, how anyone ever lets anything in their home get THAT dusty is beyond me. These three are my favorite by far, especially the Kmart. Did the Saturn thing come with blades? |

No blades with that first one, couldn't see them anywhere in the pile.

The Saturn-like thing looks like a Casablanca Four Seasons II with a sideband. Has to be made by Halsey. Can you snap a pic of the labels on the Saturn copy and the Kmart? I think that is the coolest Saturn copy I've seen by far!

I think that is the coolest Saturn copy I've seen by far! It's not. No detachable switch housing and it would need to say Casablanca on it. |

I meant it LOOKS like a FSII with a sideband. I didn't say it was. It may be a Halsey, though.
