Let's Start the New Year Off With A BANG

[Will H]

Here is what I've acquired over the past week or so...

From left to right: AB Casablanca Four Seasons, Casablanca Panama V Gallery, Casablanca Delta II.
I got the Four Seasons and Delta II from Matt's sale. Both 100% complete. I paid $40 for the Four Seasons and Matt through in the Delta II for only $20. The Four Seasons was converted from SQ to regular 3 speed. It also comes with a close-mount downrod. I also like the Delta II, I have always had a thing for the PB ones.

Here is a Craigslist find, a Casablanca Panama V Gallery Edition IT in Bright Brass. I got this off of Craigslist for $50. It was 100% complete including a W-32. This thing is in pristine condition, it looks like it came right out of the box! It came with a K-4S light kit with great glass. I really like the look of this fan.



And now what made the whole trip worth it...





A Casablanca Venus from the same craigslist guy. 100% Complete. It came with the famous Venus Light Kit.
I love this fan. It may be my new bedroom fan. I was originally going for an AB 5 bladed Zephyr from the same seller, but he sold it before I could pick it up. He emailed me that he had a Venus and a Panama for sale and he would sell them both to be for $100. I figured it was a great deal so I scooped it up. When I went to go pick this and the Panama up, (he was a nice guy) he said that he had a Brass and Copper Spirit of Saturn in his family room that he was going to remove when he renovates the room. He let me take a look at it and I took some pics of it that I'll post later on. I will be buying that when he renovates.
A Dans Fan City 2013 Catalog that I picked up at the West Palm Beach Dan's Fan City for the great price of free. I forgot to take pics of the display while I was there. I will try to get scans of this up in the literature forum.

And some Hunter LP blades I got a while back but never posted about.


Happy 2013!!!

Haha weird I got a PB Panama V Gallery Edition off of my local Craigslist back in August. But mine didn't have an IT control, which I still need(does anyone have one?)

[fancollector12]

Btw your panama was made on may 21st, 1990, and was the 971st fan that day. My fan was made on march 18th, 1988 and was the 435th fan that day. Mine is also only 5 bladed.

LOVE the Four Seasons (thought of buying it myself) and the Venus.

Can I just ask, do we know where "Panama V" originated? The tags say Panama 5, the catalogs say Panama 5, even the advertising pub mirror says Panama 5. Still trying to figure out why people call them Panama V (I am aware V is 5 in Roman Numerals).

OH WHAT A HAUL!!!!! NICE ALL IS NICE!!!!!

This polished brass Delta II you got it gorgeous. It's got the perfect blade finish with it.

[fancollector12]

Probably they're called V because some fans were, some others were probably labeled V.

Awesome finds, Will! Love those Casas!

[John "Rockin" Reed]

Awesome finds, Will!

Where do you plan to hang all those Casas?


The LP blades are cool, though.

Thank's guys!!!! I love them all. I plan on installing the Venus or Panama 5 in my bedroom. My AB Delta II will go in my dad's room. The Four seasons and PB Delta may stay in the basement.

People call the Panama 5 the Panama V because some of them were labeled with a V and not a 5. IDK if they were earlier or later models with the V, due to them having w-11's I'd say older. Here is an example, The tag has a "V" on it. I took this video a while back in a town home by my dad's. A lot of units in that area have these or Beverly Hills.

Never seen one with a V before, even in the video I can't see it but I certainly believe you since you went through the trouble to answer my question. My Panama 5 had W-11 electronics, wonder if that V has W-32 electronics with the W-11 control as Casablanca did for a time or if they just randomly named some with a V.

I believe I've seen the V as well.

I got em all up!
