Does it say Homestead anywhere on it? I believe it's from Payless Cashways (especially since it only has five blades). They sold a 52" 6-blade which may or may not have been a Homestead, and a smaller 5-blade (most likely this one). I also seem to remember the sketch of the 6-blade having these wide vents, which I'm not sure any Homesteads had.

It's not Homestead. Looks like Bahama to me.

Definitely not a direct Homestead, to my knowledge they never EVER made any fans in this style that would accept 5 blades. It's a pretty good copy though.

This is a Bahama which was a copy of the 6-blade Homestead Capistrano I mentioned last week which I happen to have. This version was also manufactured by Homestead/Firebird for Payless Cashway in the same manner The Home Depot get their Hampton Bay fans from King Of Fans or S.M.C.
There's another (which I also own), more cheaper Bahama version kknown as "Premier" which kinda resembles the design of this fan but has 6-pretzel-style blade arms and was made by Compass East Industry and has the "Bahama" logo stamped in the switch housing.
Both fans (this one and the Capistrano) are similar in technical data and share internal parts since it was manufactured at the same factory as regular Homestead fans.
Homestead provided 5 and 6-blade models to this retailer during the mid and late 1980s until they switched to Compass East Industry altogether.
In short. If it doesn't say "Bahama" stamped in the switch housing or anywhere else, is a supplied Homestead fan which means you're getting the same quality minus one extra blade.
