Jeremy is asking why we have only seen this model fan and similar fans in Florida. Perhaps the company was based there?

ADORE that chrome one! Lovely Ritz, too. And light kids like that were made for fans, though I'm not necessarily trying to say that one was.

I see what you're saying... I don't know why that is.. All of them except for the first one (Three Blade one) I've found in Ft Lauderdale too.. Probably the distributor was located in Ft Lauderdale.. Maybe they were being sold only there and the surrounding areas.. I know nothing about these other than the fact they are made in Hong Kong, and that they look to be in the same family as the Palco type fans and that one with the switch housing.. Every one I've ran arcossed has no tag or only has a tag labeled "Hong Kong", this one has no label on it, what so ever.. I thought maybe the first or second, maybe over the years the label came off, but apparently they never had a label..

Jeremy is asking why we have only seen this model fan and similar fans in Florida. Perhaps the company was based there? Generally Florida seems to have a much bigger diversity of spinners. Metal bladed fans were a lot more activly used in residential settings than a lot of other states. Most of the companies based in Florida were companies importing fans of Kong Kong and Taiwan so more spinners. Key Largo is from Florida from what I remember and the only one I know from that State that made it's fans locally so did not offered any spinners. It goes a little bit the same way for fans with four metal curved blades. Florida appears to be the only state where they are really common. Here it's the same thing. They seem to be only in Québec. Just here, I've different models from at least four different brands. I still haven't seen a four metal curved blade fan in other provinces.

Florida is the original home of Dan's Fan's City, which claims to be the first company to import fans into the US.

The chrome ceiling fan has been added to the Taiwanese/Hong Kong Galleries under the unknown section at Chrome Ceiling Fan With Neat Housing..
Here's a Youtube video of it..

The Ritz ceiling fan has also been added.. In the Evergo/Union galleries under "The Ritz Fan Company", as Ritz Tangiers Series Ceiling Fan Model RF10
Unfortunately one of the numbers off the model tag was scratched off..
Check it out...

You're right.. I though it was related to Evergo due to the fact the motor is green and the motor sorta looked like a Evergo shape until I opened the housing to find out this thing uses the same motor on the Heirloom.. Defiantly made by CEC

Another thing that lead me to believe this thing was Evergo.. One screw is missing so I tried a Moss JCP Heirloom screw, it don't fit the holes on the motor, I tried an Evergo Emperor screw and it fits, So another reason I figured.. I always open the housing as a last resort.. I just opened the housing and sure enough the same exact motor as a JCP Heirloom, but the Holes are drilled in a different size for the blades..
