Well went today as I said... And now to the good stuff.. Found one canopy to the six blade fans and only 3 brackets (Homestead style brackets, exactly what I thought) It gets better... Boxes and boxes of Hunter Original blades.. All I seen so far are Reverse-Aire.. All sizes and colors with/without cane Moss Caribbean breeze blades and alot of other stencil stuff Filled the car to the MAX, couldn't see out the mirrors or back window on the way home for the 40 min drive And now the fun part.. Home I never knew Moss labeled Hunter Originals, that were made in Taiwan.. Moss Hi-Lines one dark brown and a 42" white one... Two Ju Feng labeled ceiling fans the one had capacitor removed and the switch housing cap is missing All the Hunter Original blades, must be over 100 boxes of them Bunch of other blades Blade set for those unknown six blade American industries fans, must have over four sets of these.. Moss Caribbean Breeze motors and controls Lighted housing fans, three of them.. Probably moss.. Blades are in bad condition and they were wet.. Everything looks to be new - never used, and stored in a not so great climate.. The lighted housing hugger looks like it was used as a floor model... Out of all this still never found the Emerson blades nor all the parts to the six blade fans.. I bet all the boxes rotted away and they got all the parts they could get...

NICE. I could use 2 sets of those original blades if you are willing to sell some in the future.

Whoa! Impressive. Bravo! You're sure to never be missing ceiling fans parts, especially Hunter Original blades. I suppose you're gonna sell some to other collectors here. It's funny that the address of the store is 1980 which is one of your important source for 1980's fans. I was about the ask in the other thread, what type of Moss Caribbean Breeze the ones you saw are but now I see them. They are the mid size ones in brown, my favorite. So they are theses models? I see you also got some white metal blades. www.vintageceilingfans.com/mosscaribbeanbreeze48_4blade.htmlThe set of six blades for the American Industries are beautiful. I hope you can at least have one complete fan. You only got three brackets for theses fans in total? I see a set of ivory & stencil Old Jacksonville blades and a set of white straight metal blades. The lighted housing fans are interesting. They might be related to TAT. I can't wait to see the complete fans put together. Lately you've been very busy collecting.

These are the same sized Moss Caribbean Breeze blades, motors etc. that is in that link you posted I also found a few sets of the same blades in white also.. As for the American Industries, Yes, I found only three brackets.. I took the brackets off a homestead Whisperfan and I'm using those.. They are slightly different than the blade brackets that go with this fan.. They have less of a pitch.. I noticed the Address too.. Lately I've been scoring big here.. Out of all the finds, I must say Faith Farm is the place where I found more neat stuff than Habitat or any other place.. It use to be the Faith Farm in Boynton, more closer to me in my county, but they don't get neat stuff like they use to.. You're probably right about those lighted housing fans.. Straight metal blades look like they go to a View Fan..

This is one of those times I really have to step back and say WAY TO GO! THANK YOU for getting all those blades, I'm sure you will be helping many people to complete fans for decades to come.
Lighted housing fans do kinda have some TAT characteristics from what I can see, very cool.
That Moss/Original is AMAZING, never seen that before. No tag on the side of the motor like Originals?
If you have any wood finish Old Jacksonville blades (like those white/stencil ones in the pic) I'd be very interested in purchasing a set for my AB S Vent.

There's a wood color set of those aswell.. I may go back once again tomorrow.. I going to do another search and see if I can find some more parts around.. There were tons of light kits too, I may get a few school house light kits, one had a picture of a neat chunky GE Vent.. All those lighted housing fans are TAT, motor even looks like a TAT spinner..

I have three sets of those Old Jacksonville blades, one white set which contains 5 blades and two wood sets which contain 4 blades..

I believe the Moss "Original" to have been made by Classic, but it says Made In Taiwan..

Which leads me to think these things may have started to be made in Taiwan during the 1980s, and distributed/labeled under domestic...
