Thanks to the Randys, the social media people at Emerson were able to relay that the San Marino copy's name is 'Conquest'.

Yes, Casablanca and Hampton Bay both used the San Marino model name.

I'd imagine they did have a glossy black option for a fan like this, seems like most fans in the AirDesign line were offered in black. Do you recall that the ones you saw had Premium-type blade arms? I'm hearing that this was offered with different arms, but that it's not impossible that the Premium arms are the correct ones for this one either. Knowing Emerson as a parts bin kind of company, nothing is impossible lol. It had the same brackets as an older premium (half moon) and not new premium brackets. It also had the rounded square blade tips, so it was 52" and not 50" like yours is.

Those arms are what I'm hearing they had, Dan called them Zephyr arms and I assume that's what he was referring to. With those arms, I can definitely imagine the square tip blades being used. I could probably find a set of those eventually, not the hardest arms to find. At least they're not something purely unique to this model. But I'm not sure I'd like those on this as much, the new style Premium arms aren't exactly what I would choose for it, but I feel like they suit the style better than plain half moon arms.

Did admin delete Vince demanding me prove what I said to you guys? And Emerson is a parts bin company, especially in the 90s when almost all of their traditional fans (including the conquest) had half moon brackets, detachable switch cups, and rounded square tip blades.

Recently acquired three NuTone Proline IIs. They were in a warehouse environment, absolutely filthy with a gross thick dust. Took a couple photos before cleaning, while it's not a dark dirty dust, it was a strange texture and left stains on the blades that I had to scrub off. Originally they were on like 4-5 foot downrods made out of badly spray painted EMT, since they were crappy and non-original, I didn't feel bad about cutting them down to a reasonable 8 inches. Despite the dusty environment, only one has any kind of bearing issue, and that's only a minuscule amount of noise and a slightly shorter spindown time than the others. Nothing too serious. The other two have spindown times of 5+ minutes I think it was, those also were coincidentally the two with bad capacitors. I didn't realize the capacitors might be bad until after doing the videos, and I didn't want to go back and redo them, but I have something planned to show them operating optimally later. Really midrange fans, not bad but absolutely nothing impressive. I have a bit of a soft spot for newer generation Prolines because they're pretty common around here, so I was happy to finally acquire a few. Before cleaning:

You should see the late 80s Silverlines at my work. The blades are literally black.

That's what I mean, this wasn't your general use black-blade dirty dust. That stuff usually cleans up easily, whatever substance this was looks tame but was a bigger pain to clean than any other industrial I've gotten (my cast motor Prolines were black-blade dirty, so I've worked with that too).

Nice Prolines, Looks like they cleaned up pretty well despite the dirt.. I've never seen those air scoops on the top of the motor on industrials before.. with the exception of Caribbean Breeze ones..
