Well I got a surprise phone call from the seller I bought the TV off of.. I told him I like old ceiling fans and that I would give him a couple of bucks for each one.. Here are some pictures of the adventure. Room where one industrial was before I took down  Den with an Evergo Original in motion  Evergo Original before I took down  Neat wall switches in the den where the Evergo was  Some more neat switches located before the Den.   The room where the old TV was, carpet is clean from where the TV sat.  Most of the fans  This has alot of features as  This fan  Evergo Original taken down   Front living room where fans are  Hallway. What a mess   Some neat vents   Additional small mother in law apartment between garage and porch.. I didn't take that fan..  Back porch  Backyard    Front of house   |

Nice haul. I really like the 4 blade industrials. But man does that house look like a hell hole.

Sometimes you wonder how people live this way.. The stuff they left behind.. Hamster cages, fish tanks, and bird cages.. The place stunk like a rats nest.. Thank god they bombed the place which killed all the fleas.. My god the first time I walked in there, my legs were covered with fleas.. I saw that big eviction notice by the front door on the floor.. From the looks of it, these people lived in this house for over 40 years.. Looks like when they got evicted they were only able to take so much..

At first I thought it was an abandoned home that squatters lived in. All I know is, good luck to the poor sob that has to fix that mess. |

Great finds! I so would've taken the small GEV in the in-law suite. I'm curious to know what it is.

Great finds and a good thing you rescued those fans! That house looks like it could just be torn down....

Sweet finds! Are there any fans that will be put in where the old ones were?

I would image that who ever buys the house will put new ones in... If I didn't get these fans, more than likely they would have been replaced anyways, and put out to the curb.. What ever the fan is, it's just some cheapo late 80s 36 inch GE vent.. I've seen these fans before... Could possibly be a later TAT deluxe.. The in-law suite part of the house was only place that didn't stink.. The house is not much in bad shape other than the fact the den leaks water in alot of places..

Oh ya, I forgot one thing.. I found at set of Hunter Original blades amongst the monstrosity in the garage..  If you put this into Google 133 N 13th Pl, Lantana, Palm Beach, Florida 33462 You'll see the house while the people are still living there.. |

At first I though it was a house after a hurricane. Lol! Especially from the outdoor and porch views. So it's really peoples that lived there this way and they left the house and now new peoples bought it and they are now redoing everything? On street view (dated of April 2011) the house does not looks too bad from the outside but the inside can always be different. There are a lot of odd switches in that house. AWESOME fans you got there! I'm very curious to know what brand they are. Especially the brown one. The white 48'' fan appears to be a Fan-Aire but the 36'' appears to be just like a 4 Seasons. I can't wait to know what they are exactly what they are and see pictures of them installed. This is the ivory 4 Seasons 36'' model I have: www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=1050&c=34The brown model is even cooler! I might have seen some of theses around here. It does indeed have similarities with that small one you posted. Andrew also have a picture of a white 140cm, three metal bladed model with the same motor and canopies. |

Yes the switches are neat, the three way ones have a name to them i can't think of at the top of my head.. They were invented in the 60s.. None of them say Fan-Aire, the 48 and 36 inchers both have different labels.. The DB one of course has no label.. It's also unknown like the one in the gallery with a switch housing... Ya only if we could see what the house looked like inside on that date... Probably messy..

Those switches are AWESOME. You should have taken the larger dimmers.
GREAT finds with the fans. Love all of them!
