My Uncle's Encon Monarch finish

[Jonathan A.]

I know I've seen very few models that are sold in antique brass with white blades (like Minuet II), but are Encon Monarchs sold in antique brass with white blades, or the blades are painted white? This is my uncle's fan by the way, and he probably will replace it with a 5 bladed ceiling fan, and he said he will give it to me when he replaces it.

Probably painted. They came in white/brass/cane.

My guess is that the blades were painted white at one time. I'd take a look at the other side of the blades to see if they appear painted or not; it's pretty easy to tell if the cane was painted over.
