Casablanca Artisan vs. Mica Lamp Company Fan

[fancollector12]

So I was searching on eBay and found this:

www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Mica-Lamp-Company-52-Bronzed-Copper-Ceiling-Fan-with-Almond-Light-Kit-/130709649037?pt=Lamps_US&hash=item1e6ee6f68d

It's a Mica Lamp Company ceiling fan. It has an almost identical resemblance to a Casablanca Artisan:

*Stack motor that looks like Casablanca's
*Motor tag is similar and placed in the same place as on a Casablanca
*Blades look the same as Casablanca's
*Motor housing is similar to Casablanca's
*Flywheel is exactly like Casablanca's

So... could this be a rebadged Casablanca Artisan? What do you guys think?

Just didn't know if you guys knew of these or not, but I think they're reasonably priced (within the $500 range). And no, IT, AT, and other control systems are not offered. Only a three-speed pull chain or an Airflow-style remote control.

those are ugly!

Yeah, but it uses a PowerHouse 2020 Motor, aka a Casablanca XLP2000 Motor. If you take off the fake rivets on the side and change the blade arms, you have an Artisan. It even uses the Hang-Tru canopy!

These have been discussed before. Definitely seems to be something direct from Casablanca, I don't think I've ever seen so many various pics of one before but with all those and the similarities they had to have gotten almost everything from Casablanca.

I think it's a bonafide Casa. If I had $400 I'd buy it. It's worth lookinginto, definitely not crap in regards to today's standards (:
