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. I would have stood there for 5 hours! But then again, I don't have a single Original in my collection, so I'm more desperate than most

LOVE the Ritz (first fan) and the small Union. Those Unions are rare in 36".

Love the Ritz...
I love the Evergo too.. There was one recently on my local CL.. I ended up being too late, and plus it would have been a days worth of a trip to get it..

It was a small one like pictured.. Same color and everything, with no nut, and the a smaller side foil.. Kinda looks like the other motor type, so the fans are different.. I saved the pic Attachment Deleted

Mark W had two like that, not sure if he still has them. Those are older, 70s I believe.

I saved the pic I don't know if its the lighting in the first picture, or my colorblindness, but it seems to me like the picture you posted has much lighter blades. The first one almost looks like it has black blades.

Here are some more fans from the same trip. These were all in an estate sale, but not for sale! 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. As a matter of fact, I do!

There was an old panama-vent fan on the back porch, but I don't have any pictures of it. I doubt it was a casablanca, since the entire motor housing was rusted out.

As a matter of fact, I do! (Image) Neat, that's probably the original control.

Can't remember. They were pretzel brackets, but I'm not sure if they are casablanca style (no inner lines) or non-casablanca style (2 inner lines)

While on the trip, we stopped in this little town and went shopping downtown. We swung into this furniture store that had some cool ceiling fans in it
Pictures in order= An unknown builder vent fan in the mattress section of the store. There were 4 of these in the section A GE vent fan in the sofa section of the store. There were 5 of these fans in this section. One of them had different brackets and blades, so there were a total of 6 fans in the section.
All of them are antique brass, and I have no clue on the brands. Thanks for viewing my thread! I'll post more pictures as I find them!
