How did we determine that these: Are in fact Key Largo? Someone told me years ago and I just went with it. I heard about someone finding one NIB, no idea who. I have seen some actual, confirmed Key Largos with a later canopy, like this: And variable speed. Which leads me to believe that this fan: with the older canopy/downrod, and 3 speed, is not Key Largo. But if that one isnt, it's unlikely that these: are either. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Here's the only other confirmed Key Largo I own: Post pictures of confirmed Key Largos, and we'll see what we can learn.

The more I look at the others the more skeptical I get as well. All of those other fans (and the thing I have) have more things in common among themselves, but nothing about them ties them back to the known Key Largos. If somebody has the NIB one I'd love to hear about it. Here's my Key Largos, confirmed. Chaparral (of course thanks to Dan): And this thing: Then there's this supposed Key Largo, which I'm now doubting:

Didnt you get both Chaparrals? The cane Key Largo is the closest I've ever seen to my childhood Key Largo. Mine was AB, variable speed, not cane (though I LOVE the cane) and the bottom plate MAY have been slightly different. I dont know why I didnt keep this one when you offered it to me. I know it's still "mine" but still And yeah, there's nothing linking these other fans at all. But then what are they?

The more I think about it, the more those ornate things remind me of something Calcutta may have done. That's just my $0.02, feel free to correct me. Another guess is that they may actually have some kind of connection to the ornate "Green Fans" people have seen around.

Love the ornate Key Largos! Good quality fans hardly show up at the Habitat I volunteer at.

Yes I have both, the first one's kinda roughed up and not NIB anymore after that guy who runs BB threw the box away so I didn't use it for the pictures here. I really need to get a flywheel for that fan. I don't keep it here so I never remember to look into getting one.
