Oak Dixie Bell

[mndoss06]

Over the Labor Day weekend I went back home to my parents' house in MD and while I was there I went to the Rockville Dan's Fan City. I was chatting with the manager while I was there and I mentioned the Oak/PB fan I got there years ago. I never knew what it was, and he informed me that it was called an Oak Dixie Bell. He'd been working for Dan's Fan city since 1986 and remembered exactly what I was talking about. I thought this was interesting and figured I'd share this info. Has anyone ever run across one before?



PS: for those that didn't see the last time I posted about this fan I mentioned that I added on the switch cap light kit just this year, it didn't come with it.

Yes, Jeremy, I like this fan and I do not see many of them up for grabs.

I've seen a few fans with an oak plate in the past. A four-bladed one with an oak switch cap and ornate vents is a childhood fan for me; it was in a corner of a large classroom. Not a big fan of the shades on it, or of turtle fitters in general, but I dig the fan and its nice cane blades.

Jonas, sounds like you are describing a Palm Air?

I've still got the original switch cap for it. When I got it from Dan's Fan City back in 1989 it was the display model and came with a globe light kit. I replaced that after a few years with a three light turtle fitter and left that on it until this year when I experimented with the switch cap light. It's not installed in my house right now because I don't have the room for it (I installed it just to take the picture posted here and then took it down).

Funny how it doesn't have GEV or pretzel brackets since it's a Dixie Belle.
