the ruidoso emporium has taken over the bear barn

[kelly]

hello fellow fan collectors i posted a long time ago about a flea market called the bear barn in ruidoso new mexico i am still here on vacation they moved to a new location but before they ever moved they had stack motor ornate commander fans the pics of them r on the old thread i posted along time ago if u can find it LOL anyways the new owners of the original bear barn sadly took out all of the commander stack motor fans and replaced them with newer hunter fans and 3 casablanca fans one of the casablancas is a malibu star and the other 2 r different but while i was there i did find a new casablanca astro NIB for only$45.50 plus tax i sadly can't take it with me because i am with my grand parents and they won't let me take fans back to san angelo tx but good ole jody victor does live in portalis/clovis new mexico so maybe he can come get the fan for whoever might want it

here r the pictures of the fans maybe u guys can help identify some of the hunter fans / casablancas

there is also a ceiling fan in the place i am staying at maybe u guys can help identify it i am notsure what kind it is the pull chain for the light has been replaced with a 3 way rotary switch for the 5 light kit which is really cool i wish i could take a video of it but i can't since i am here with the grandparents
















there r some portable fans in here as well

enjoy the photos

The second Casa shown is a Marrakesh, The black and brushed nickel one is part of the cosmopolitan collection but not sure what it's called. The white hunter is the alchemy, the bronze hunter is the la strada.

Kind of a strange and unfitting location for those Casas/Hunters. Fans more suitable would be industrials. Otherwise awesome sightings.

I totally agree about the installs. The Malibu Star matches a little bit better the location though. I don't like the fans much but they change from the usual Home-Depot and Lowes crap we always see. At least they are quality and different.

I love the Hunter Zephair desk fan.

It's funny that the pull chain was replaced by a rotary switch on the light kit of that brass ceiling fan. It has the same light kit and shade combination as on a Hampton Bay Princeton.

I was expecting to see some plastic Emersons or 'blenderfans' in that setting.

Was that Hunter 'Dimensions' for sale?

yes they have about 20 of them for $25 each same finish

[fancollector12]

Not a bad price for that type of fan that originally went for over $100 new.

Neat pictures...I love that Malibu Star! ;D

What does the nameplate say on that old box fan?

[fancollector12]

Rick, the nameplate says Superlectric.

That would make sense - looking back, I can see the swirly "S" that their logo usually used.

What an odd place to install quality fans. Some blenderfans would look great there. Or even industrials. I've always loved the look of the Malibu star.

i like to know what the heck is that white fuzzzy stuff on the ceiling?!?!?!

[Matt B.]

Insulation.

[fancollector12]

Fireproofing, to be exact. My dad deals with steel so he knows a lot about that stuff (:

[jamiem]

well vincent,he must put the fire away fuzzy on the ceiling(s) in the buildings he worked in...
