Beautiful Tatung! I love theses! I wish to find one one day. Is it really labeled Tatung? I know theses are often found labeled all sort of things. It's so white that I wonder if something was not repainted on it. Theses particularly look nice in white & PB or brown & PB. The all polished brass ones are beautiful too. The canopy has an odd shape but I love it. I don't like when theses have a Toastmaster ish canopy.

Yes this one is actually labeled Tatung. I would say it has the factory paint since the plastic parts are bare plastic which have just a very slight yellowing to them.

This month's trip was pretty good if we say so ourselves: Sightings: NIB Atlantic Air something at a thrift store. Looks like a knockoff of the Homestead Wind II. And some strange Home Creations fan. Interesting to say the least. And now the finds. The other feller got a White/Chrome Casablanca Spirit of Saturn. Complete except some missing hardware and the IT Control. The fan is from August 18th 1993 fan # 439 He also scored a NIB Miami Carey Ambassador spinner. Here is the Panama II he bought last month, It had a bowl light on it when he bought it. Now my stuff. PB Casa Victorian II motor only. No blades or mounting hardware. The fan is from April 5th 2001 fan #53 I also got a 1981 plastic Sears Emerson Designer. Missing the mounting hardware but everything else is still there for the most part.

The Atlantic Air reminds me of Hunter Innova.

Here is the Emerson hung up. I put on that shorter brass downrod, converted it to ball and socket mount and did some alignment work with the blades since they were out of whack. The bearings were quite dry, but with some Zoom-Spout it freed then up nicely. Don't burn me too bad on the light, I just threw it on there since I didn't have the switch cap for it. I will shoot a video on this fan tomorrow and try to set something up for the Victorian as well.

It needs a single globe or a switch cap!

Sweet finds! Is that, by date, your newest Casa?

Indeed it is the newest. I really wish it had the original blades.

Last weekend I removed 2 fans from a family friends house since she was moving. she didn't need them anymore so she gave them to me. Nothing too special, they are white/brass Hampton Bay Carriage house IIs. Both fans are from February 2004. One was installed in the kitchen and one was installed in the master bedroom. They will be sticking around for awhile since my mom likes them a lot. If everything pans out, I will be heading out once again for the monthly fan hunt this weekend.
