Found this on the curb. It's branded NuTone, but would it be considered a later model Decorator? It's from 1991. Don't worry about the fan sitting on its blades, it was like that when I found it.   |

Yes I'm pretty sure it's a later Decorator by the plain side band and the GE vents. NuTone had a very plain and classic five blade GE vent fan in the 1990s.
I love the way they are so classic and simple yet beautiful fans.

I do believe these are the later Decorators. I'm never exactly sure because they had a few variants of GE vents in the 90s.

Yes, that would be one. My grandmother has the last version probably made in 2001 that is white and has the mesh-style perforated vent screening that was in her living room when she moved in. It's not very powerful, yet not very noisy, even on high speed.  |

Here are installed pics. A few blade arms were bent out of alignment, bent them back as best as I could.   |

I got a white one NIB from a flea market this past summer. However, mine has the blade arms sans bars.

Pics, John? What year is it from? Is it like my grandmother's with pretzel brackets and round-tipped blades, or is it like this one?

It's more like this one.
Daniel, it would be worth investing in some Westinghouse replacement blade arms for this fan from Home Depot since it looks like it uses that type.

Nice save. Polished brass GE-vent fans are awesome.  |
