That is a very nice fan. Yet the starting bid is way too high.

[Adam D.]

yes it is, and is not even reserve met....

Wow! the 3rd in a row, this is the week of the Victorians.

The description of this newbie make me laugh. he/she claim
they bought it 30-years ago., so wrong, the fan is from the
1980's maybe 1982-83, the first Victorian {#CB-1} didn't
use that type of blade arms.

Claims to have paid $1,100 for it... yeah sure in Canadian
dollar$. Hmm, that's news for me, i didn't know Casablanca
sold fans for "the tens of thousands of dollars?!" Oh boy,
another one who thinks these fans gain collectible value.

The seller is from Beverly Hills, thouse people think their
stuff is worth more than everyone elses, it's the same deal
with sellers from Arizona specially from the Scottsdale
area.

Let's keep an eye on it and see how many bids it gets. I
honestly tell you, i've never read so many lies and
exaggerations in one single item description.

I once had 4 1978 Victorians that had those type of arms . . . but that's irrelevant, because the picture of the fan he's showing isnt even the same fan he's selling. If the fan he's selling is reversible then it's newer, early 80s as Perrey says.

I emailed him to tell him his prices were too high, you'll notice he changed them in the description but still left the starting bid way up there.

If he took off that reserve, he might get one bidder . . . because the fan's not worth much more than that.
