It came in today! Love this fan, I finally got what I've been searching out for so long. It's in decent shape, some scratches on the motor and such, but the blades are really good other than a little yellowing, they're the most important part anyways.   |

Is it just the blades you got or it's also the Lady Delta? That would be your third Lady Delta.
The blade span must be something above 152 cm. I think in inches they call it a 62''. That would be 157 cm. The pictures makes it looks almost wider than this.
I always wondered with theses blades, why they are often matched with small housing fans that normally would be made for mid-size blade spans such as the Lady Delta or Ventura. Why not the Panama or Deltas?

Awesome! I always like one of these! Glad you found it cole. Thanks. Got a steal of a deal on eBay! Is it just the blades you got or it's also the Lady Delta? That would be your third Lady Delta. The blade span must be something above 152 cm. I think in inches they call it a 62''. That would be 157 cm. The pictures makes it looks almost wider than this. I always wondered with theses blades, why they are often matched with small housing fans that normally would be made for mid-size blade spans such as the Lady Delta or Ventura. Why not the Panama or Deltas? I got the whole fan, and it's not a Lady Delta specifically, the tag says Avalon because the series came with these blades as opposed to them being an option. It's 62", I think it's my "largest" fan, I don't think I have anything 60" either. IDK, guess they thought the blades should be the focus, not the motor housing. Look at the Malibu Star, no housing at all and even bigger blades. Personally I like Avalon blades best on the Ventura. You like it better 4 or 5? You installing it anywhere? I can't really decide. I like 5 for sure when they're on a Ventura, but I'm kinda feeling them on the LD housing more with four. Wish I had a place worthy to put it. I'm putting it up in the fan room for now, I'd like to find something better. I don't think anywhere in the house would be very suitable unless someone has ideas? |

I did not know Casablanca actually had a ceiling fan motor called Avalon even though it's clearly a Lady Delta. I really thought that theses blades were an option for plain models such as Deltas, Lady Deltas and then later pull chain Panamas and Venturas. Recently this is what it is. It's an option. I thought with all the recent changes with Casablanca that they had discontinued them but they are still there. The comments and not very positive. www.casablancafanco.com/Products/Accessories/Ceiling_Fans/Blades/Avalon%C2%AE_Blade_System-BL31W-11/For the small housings I guess it goes the same way as for some Fanimation fans such as the Islander that have a very small discreet housing. For vintage fans we could think of the Emerson Universal Series. |

Oh man, sweet fan! When was this made? I remember these (Cole, you will remember these) at the Wilderness Lodge in one of the restaurants inside the hotel in Walt Disney World. They had a few of these, but I believe the motors and blade arms and frames were chrome.

For vintage fans we could think of the Emerson Universal Series. Yes, they're more of an option now, I think perhaps it was a specific series before they made them an option. If you look at the model itself it has its own model number: www.casablancafanrepair.com/HTMLFiles/do_it_yourself/TL_03_Spare%20Parts%20List/Fan%20Pages/AvalonPartsList.htmI thought they'd be cut too, I don't see them as a good option on Direct Drive fans. Yes I would say that's very much the idea. Oh man, sweet fan! When was this made? I remember these (Cole, you will remember these) at the Wilderness Lodge in one of the restaurants inside the hotel in Walt Disney World.

I've never seen those Avalons, I've only been in hotels I stayed at which means only the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, and All Star Sports resorts. |

LOVE IT. I have to agree, I think it looks better with 4 blades.

Very, very nice. I always liked these. My only annoyance was that all the motors they fit were extremely similar. Beautiful fan, and as much as I usually prefer four blades, this is one I can only see with five. Absolutely THE nicest cloth-blade fan.
