I've kinda been wanting to find a Lasko again, I haven't seen one since I gave my first one to Troy years ago. It was missing the mounting plate, but Sean sent me one a long time ago with a bunch of other parts and I've been saving it just in case I ever found one of these again. I had to replace the pullchain as well since the finial was broken of which was no big deal. Finishes are in good condition, overall I'm happy about it.   |

It's a cute little fan! Air King made this and the 52" 5B version up until about a few years ago!

Thanks guys. I'm enjoying it, it's in better condition than my last Lasko was.

These are even better when they're from the 80s.

Is House Beautiful another branding for these or it's the name of this model?

It's a relabel.
I like these best with the smaller switch housing. I've had a few and gotten rid of them, I wish I hadnt.

I have two of these. Some of you already seen it  And the House Beautiful  Btw Cole,Your Lasko House Beautiful is in better condition then what my Lasko looks like. Mine is missing a Mounting hardware and it had too much Grease on the motor housing that i had to clean off. And the wires are chipped off so i had to get new spare wires to get it to work. And my Lasko does work. |

I see these from time to time during my runs.. I think there may be one at the Stuart Habitat.. If I'm not mistaken, I think the light kit is apart of the fan..

Love it! I don't see too many of these in person, but they're really neat fans.

I haven't seen too many of them either, they seem very popular in some areas and not in others.

Probably not unlike Jimmy P's antique brass version. Older Laskos have pointed tip blades and Emerson-like switch housings... newer ones have the NuTone-ish tip blades and a more standard-looking switch housing (and the newer 52" ones are MUCH slower than the older ones). I think the switch housing was changed before the blades were; I've seen pictures of two newer ones in the same building, maybe even in the same room, one of which had the old style blades and one which had the new style blades.
I've seen the newer style 52" Lasko in both 4-blade and 5-blade, but they are not 4/5 blade interchangeable.
