It looks like this is related to the Excel fan I have (except, that came with blades packaged in the box). I wonder how big the motor is on this?

It's related to the fan I linked above also.. Post was edited after your reply..
A slightly newer version being next in line from that chunkier one, probably only a year or two newer..

Looks like a nice motor (cosmetically speaking), but that's a shame there's no blades. You have my condolences, I've had my fair share of expensive ceiling fan dissapointments.

Daniel is probably going to like this thing... hint: it's made by Saff.

Saff Enterprise ceiling fans were made in Taiwan, this is made in Hong Kong.. This is much heavier than Saff fans.. It is a bit identical though.. supposedly the seller found the blades.. And box shows the variable speed version:

Are you going to get some blades for it and make a video?

I think they were evenly distributed throughout the USA.. They were alot at one time here in Florida, mostly the Antique Brass variable speed version that's in the link in the original post.. For some reason the AB finish was more desirable.. I don't see them anymore and was lucky to find that one at Faith Farm..
Once I get the blades...

Very nice fan. It should be easy to find matching and fitting blades for it. You might already have some. The housing is made the same way as my Nadair GE vent. The motor inside the housing might not be the same though so yours is probably not quite as heavy as my Nadair. This Nadair weights almost 13 kgs without the blades. Yikes! The sticker on top of the motor is also quite similar to a Nadair sticker. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=118&c=37

Neat find! Hopefully the blades are the ones pictured! I love it! Never knew Windmachines fans were made in the early 80s!

Oh cool you got it! I was tempted by the variable speed depicted on the box, but guess it wasn't variable anyways lol. Love the brown.

I knew it wasn't variable seeing how it says on the box that is pictured on the auction.. Boxes that show a variable speed fan like this, but indicates a three speed is most likely going to be a smaller updated fan.. I'll stay away from those for now on.. Still the fan is far from junk, but I would probably not have bought it.. There's still two of them left, and the seller has to return to the house their father lived in that passed away to get the blades, she remembers seeing them, and I'm waiting for her reply to send me the blades... So if anyone is interested, you should send them a message first about the blades..
