one of the fans obtained from the scrapyard, now looking like its fully new! this is one of the oldest of the union fans i have since it has a 4.75 uF capacitor (not the usual 4 uF that unions here usually have) and metallic canopies.. i am not sure about the dating of the fan, but i found in some website that union has started in around 1974, this fan could be somewhere in the mid 70s i believe the fan makes some unusual sounds when i start operating it, but when i operate it after having it operated for a long time, it operates silently the ABC label was taken from another canopy which i set it as a spare for other unions blades of this fan is a spare blade set        video coming soon |

It almost looks like the motor casing isn't closed together all the way.

These are among my favorite fans,
The ones in the US are different in 2 ways:
1. The screws arent visible on the bottom of the motor
2. The top of the motor is a different shape.
I see what Andrew is saying. Are you sure the two halves arent supposed to touch?

The ones here, they touch and a gold stripe covers the same.
Dayton/Marley/Westinghouse/Weatherites, there is an actual gap, filled in with a plastic ring.

The top of the motor is a different shape. Actually, the upper casings of the ones I've seen have that same shape. |

Those in your picture are identical to mine. When you see them up close, the top looks different than Tais's.
