Ceiling fans from a Texas trip

[Aidan B.]

I took these a while back, and I forgot I had these

The pictures in order=

4 red Hunter Originals outside an antique store. I tried to find the owner, but I couldn't, and I didn't want to steal them.
A white Hunter Original Reverseaire at an estate sale. Really cool fan, but it wasn't for sale.
1 out of 5 Hunter Originals in a house furnishings store. I wanted to get a picture of all five, but the workers were giving me dirty looks, so I just took a picture of 1.

Texas sure loves Originals!

Man! Those red originals are pretty cool, too bad you couldn't find the owner. I really like the reverseaire as well, I normally don't care for lights on Originals but that one is doing it for me.

[Cole S.]

Those red Originals! Poor things.

[Aidan B.]

Those red Originals! Poor things.

I know right! I think I shed one man tear when I saw them!

[Aidan B.]

Yeah, I only like spherical lights on originals too. They make it look classy.

[organistjx]

You should have taken the Originals...

[Aidan B.]

The ones in the truck? I didn't want to get arrested for stealing!

Then you should have tried to find who was in charge of the truck and asked if you could take them. I'm sure that he would have said yes...

Very nice fans. i like the orginal with the light globe on it.

Texas does have lots of Originals in it!

As far as the red ones go, I'll have to agree with your actions on those. While they were more than likely heading out for scrap, you never really know. Its a shame if they are getting scrapped, they looked to be in decent condition especially for being handled the way they were.

As far as the pictures in the store go, I would have taken them anyway. You have a right to take pictures in public. Some stores like the Home Depot don't like to give people their Constitutional right for some reason, but until they say something I always snap away!

I did look. I stood by the truck for 5 minutes and I looked around the store for him, but I couldn't find him.

Which globe? The schoolhouse globe, or the round globe?

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I looked for the owner, but I had no luck. That would have been a cool find!

Here are some more fans from the same trip. These were all in an estate sale, but not for sale!

Fans in order:
A Ritz fan in the den area of the house. I have never heard of Ritz before, I hope to learn more about them. Note the variable speed knob.
A 36" Union spinner in the kitchen. The choke control for this fan was MASSIVE! It was the largest choke I have ever seen on a spinner!
Another Reverseaire in the Master Bedroom. Note the bent blade, and brass light kit.

Fans in order:
An unknown exclamation mark(!) vent fan from the estate sale. Could it be a Moss? I thought it looked like a combination of a Moss and a Casablanca Zephyr, with Litexish vents. Note the variable speed knob.
A 36" Union spinner in the kitchen. The choke control for this fan was MASSIVE! It was the largest choke I have ever seen on a spinner!
Another Reverseaire in the Master Bedroom. Note the bent blade, and brass light kit.

The first one is in a great setting.

The Union spinner, I LOVE that one! Especially on the swag kit too! Did you happen to get a picture of the speed choke?

Not sure what the deal is with that blade on the Original, my only guess is the blades started warping so they turned them over.
