Last week, I noticed a Craigslist ad for five Casablanca fans. Also included in the listing were five of the older style four-speed ivory rotary wall controls to go with the fans. There were three Delta II, and two Delta I fans. By the time I arrived, one of the delta II fans, and one of the delta Is had been sold. However, the purchasers only chose to use one of the wall controls. So, for the bargain basement price of $75, I took one copper Delta I, One Classic white Delta II, a second Delta II in Polished Brass, and four wall controls. Enjoy:

My favorite finish for those, aside from classic white. The seller was surprisingly knowledgable, and explained how he had downsized from a much larger home, and had taken these with him to his current house, with the intention to sell the ones he didn't have room for (he has more of the same fans installed).

I'm really glad you could get these! I didn't even know the Delta was Copper until seeing these pictures!

Yeahhh, that "copper" seriously looks more like tarnished brass to me. I'll believe the copper theory when I see the tag...

The finish is slightly reddish in tone, and appears to be even throughout. I had a tarnished brass Zephyr at one time, and although darker, it was not as "red".

Show us the bloody tag...
The brass plating on many older Casablancas is not particularly thick and there IS a copper underplating.
