Added to the Casablanca Ceiling Fan Gallery.. It looks like it's from the late 1970s.. Any info on this fan would be great..

Wow, Adam! Good score! Where'd you get it? If you tell me the info off the labels on the tops of the fans, I can lookup what date it was made. (:

There is no info or numbers on the labels.. It's from the late 70's.. I got a 1979 Zephyr along with it at the Habitat in Ft Lauderdale.. I paid $25 for each..

Wow, splendid find! Shame about the moisture buildup on it. K63 FTW though!
It's an older fan Vincent, doesn't follow the code like later fans.

Want to trade this fan, Adam? I love this version!

I want to hang on to it for right now.. It's not going to go anywhere..
Here's a video of it.. Using steal wool, i was able to remove the moisture buildup/corrosion around the switch housing without removing the finish.. It's funny how it looks like a combination of antique brass and copper.. Bearings are silent, even after having to pop the switch housing out, due to the fact the blade arms were hitting the variable speed control.. Still uploading should be available in a few hours..

VERY nice! The oxidation gives it a really cool antique patina to it IMO.

LOL, I didn't know it didn't follow the regular date code. When did the current system start?

Sounds about right.. These are marked with a pen, with a number and a (month-year) date..
