Thanks Dan.. Jean, it's a foreclosed or tax seized home, meaning the bank took it back and has a realtor taking care of cleaning it out and then reselling.. The Two four blade white ones are basically more like this fan..

Andrew also have a picture of a white 140cm, three metal bladed model with the same motor and canopies. I don't have pictures of a white 3-blade 140cm... but I do have pictures of a white 3-blade 56 INCH... (You are the minority here, as we Americans do not use the metric system.) What was the point of this? You know, if you continue like this, a lot of peoples won't feel very welcomed to come here.

The Two four blade white ones are basically more like this fan.. Yes that's exactly what I thought. This fan is a Fan-Aire but the ones you found might be labeled otherwise. It's very common with Asian made fans to have many ceiling fans almost all the same but with different labels. The smaller one looks pretty different though cause your small four bladed Fan-Aire model does not have brackets, the blades are one single piece while the one you just found have squarish brackets with four rivets like 4 Seasons and some DEMC.

Ya Jean I noticed that.. The one in the galleries doesn't have any kind of bracket.. I've seen so many different little modifications on these type of fans, it's not even funny.. No wonder these type of fans have so many different labels..
One thing i noticed that the fans where on dimmers, and not with the original speed controls.. I haven't seen what kind of speed controls these type of fans use in a loooong time.. I remember back in the mid 1980s someone having one of these type of fans and the speed control box went up in smoke.. So those speed controls didn't last very long.. Most likely anyone who still has these fans installed in their house, the control was replaced either with a switch or a dimmer at some point long ago..

I added both the white fans to the Taiwanese and Hong Kong gallery under Deluxe Electric MFG.CO. 36 Inch 4 Blade Industrial Ceiling Fan and under Various Unknown White 48 Inch 4 Blade Industrial Ceiling Fan And if someone could give me any info on this mounting bracket.. I want to say U-Hook mounting bracket, but I'm not 100% sure..

What was the point of this? Just giving you a hint that.. because this is a site based in the U.S., we do not use the metric system. Some of us find the use of it rather annoying...

Very cool fans Adam. You cleaned them pretty well it seems. They both definitely seems to be related with Fan-Aire and/or Breeze Industries. It's just annoying for the missing caps to cover the hole in the middle of them. I think you can remove theses light kits wires from them. I've been able to do that with two 4 Seasons Classic's. The light kits wires were not connected with anything else with the fan so I could just pull on them and they can off and out the fan pretty easily.
The smaller one seems to have the exact same blades as 4 Seasons but the rest of the fan is clearly like your other Fan-Aire equivalent. Even the canopies and all and being made in Hong Kong instead of Taiwan. 4 Seasons canopies usually does not yellow much and are also not J-hook (or U-hook in your case) or at least they do not use a mounting that requires a rubber wheel.
The 48'' model is really just like your three bladed Fan-Aire equivalent.
Do they work well?

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.. Do you know what the switch with the big grey plate is for? (6th pic) Is it for a sound system of something? Is seems the control for volume. The three way switches are the one that have six small switches per plate?

The wires don't bother me, I think some of these fans came that way new with the wires already there for easier hookup for a light kit.. They run pretty well and blow alot of air... I'm pretty sure these are from more like the late 70s.. I remember in the mid 80s being 7 years old finding one of type of fans in the trash.. I've never seen a 4 blade version up until i started collecting fans.. I've seen recently a 36" 3 blade version as well.. Kinda neat that there are so many different forms of these fans.. It's too bad the woman fell though on the deal with the one that has a switch housing..

This is Internet. 95% of the world uses the metric system. Don't be surprised if peoples in their everyday talk/writings mention the size of something in centimeters and tell the ambient temperature in Celsius. MANY websites are US based but because of that, peoples don't start to convert all the measures. This is the beauty of Internet is to be spontaneous and not try to adopt what other peoples uses but continue to use what your used to. I was born 17 years after the metrication of Canada. Metric measures are easier to convert between other metric measures, easier to calculate and more precis so it should not be annoying at all to use. By 2012, I would not believe you if you tell me that you have no idea what 30 cm is for example.
