Got 4 from Faith Farm today.. Casablanca Victorian Chunky Variable speed GE Vents (Made in Hong Kong) Supreme Original Orinate Encon Crompton Breeze The Supreme Original is in pretty bad shape. Missing Irons, switch housing is broken and all four blade brackets are broke. The blades I don't think are the original ones.. For $2 I could not pass it..

The previous owner should have just unscrewed the arms instead of breaking them.

I like everything you did get, especially the GE Vent. Do you know the brand?
Also, does that Original copy use an oil bath system?

Good stuff Adam! I like the offset vents on the Original knockoff. Shame the morons had to destroy the original blade brackets.

Sweet finds! Now you have a few Original copies, an ornate CG like the one on the Site but you actually own one, another Victorian to match your other one, and a nice GEV vari-speed. Can't wait to see 'em all on the Site (:

The GE Vent does have a tag that says Decorative Ceiling Fan, then gives the model and info.. That's the first fan I tried and it works.. The variable speed control is great also.. Slows the fan down completely.. The Original is the same has a Hunter (Very Heavy). Both the GEV and Casablanca have one warped blade.. Looks like they were left out in the rain.. It's typical for Faith Farm to do that. I wouldn't be surprised if they broke the blades off the Supreme Original by miss handing it.. All four blades on the GEV were still assembled and all bent out of shape. I fixed the blades.. The Casablanca blades were taken off lying next to it, of course missing screws. The CC also had the blades installed but were fine.

the CG blades are stronger is why they survive 100% of warp free...etc
what kind of blades? cane? or plain? so far i plan on going to my restore maybe this weekend.

Everything is awesome! Great grabs on everything, shame about the condition of the Supreme though.

Thanks guys, Jeremy, The blades are cane.. The brackets on the Supreme Original fan have a fork shape design, I can tell on the blades (screw hole spacing) Like the pic below.. It's a shame I doubt I would be able to find exact replacements, which means this fan won't make it to the galleries.
