Disclaimer: All pictures are from different times so some things have changed
Finally I've gotten some time to upload my fans and let y'all see what my collection has been up to.
First up! This is my 53" Polished Brass Casablanca Palisades with Black blades from way back when. Apparently, when I was a baby or toddler or one of those young ages, my family and I had a Spirit of Saturn with a black remote (if anyone has a pic of it or know what it was, let me know. and no it wasn't a black comfort touch) that I apparently broke. I don't know how, but I did. They replaced it with this. It's almost 20 years old (that's how old I am!) and runs completely fine! Controlled by Versa Touch
Next up, a 36" White/Brass Nutone Slimline. Runs fine but has one bent blade and a few cosmetic issues that are easily fixable. Off Craigslist for 15 bucks
This is a 52" Terra Cotta/Green Hampton Bay Vineyard with what looks like plastic Bleached Oak blades. Also runs fine. Just needed a lock for the downrod. Hopefully going to install it on my back porch this summer. I think its beautiful
In my bedroom at home, there's this 52" Brushed Nickel Harbor Breeze Europa with Bleached Oak blades and is controlled by the wall and remote control package. Hard worker and good style, but unfortunately, it's starting to run down. So I'm going to replace it with a Ventura that's coming up in this post
Next up is my 53" Brushed Nickel Stealth with Platinum blades in my kitchen. Run by Inteli Touch. Lately, it's been giving me and my parents some issues so my dad and I are constantly trying to fix it. It sounds like the blades are dragging on the top right above the light. Replaced the flywheel once because it was out of shape, and now its doing the same thing. I'm not sure what the whole problem is, but we're doing everything to fix it
In my collection, I got this 52" Polished Brass Nutone Verandah Deluxe with Walnut blades I got off Craigslist for 25. It didn't come with the light kit but I put it on for demonstration purposes. It's on this long downrod and I don't want to mess anything up so I'm gonna keep it like this. I'm going to install it in my attic to give it some light. This picture is old and I'm going to get a center fitter for it. Also, the people who sold it to me lost the flywheel to bracket screws, but thankfully, the bracket to blade screws on my Vineyard fit the holes perfectly. Currently on a search to find more like those
In my dining/living room, we have these 52" Antique Brass Casablanca Metropolitans with Walnut Blades. Same exact color, separate Inteli Touch controls and everything. The only difference is that the living room fan has a crap flywheel that needs to be replaced. Other than that, who don't like matching!
In the apartment downstairs from my house (where my aunts live) the only fan they have is this 52" Antique Brass Supreme with Redish stencil blades in one of their bedrooms. I don't know the model name or number, but it does have a heater. If anyone has any info on it, let me know. Huge childhood fan!
In my parents bedroom, they have a 52" Brushed Nickel Harbor Breeze Tiempo with Dark Walnut blades. Also controlled by the wall/remote package. Easily one of the better Harbor Breeze fans
In my computer room, we have a 42" Casablanca Panama with Rosewood blades. Controlled by Inteli Touch and is easily my favorite install in the whole house (because it's my all time favorite fan) and is also the fastest fan in the house. If you look at the Palisades pic, you can see the Inteli Touch on the outside of the room
During this spring break, I hung up this 36" White CEC Georgian with White stencil blades in my makeshift music room (a section of my attic that was originally a workout room but as I got older, got less used). Got it off eBay for about 30 bucks. Originally my first nib fan. Light kit is not original, but I find some fans incomplete if they don't have a light kit so I needed to get one. I haven't found the breaker that turns off all the power in my attic yet so it's just sitting up there until my summer break comes around so I can unwire that single light and wire it to the fan. The light will always be on and the whole fan will be controlled from a regular light switch so that's why the pull chain for the light is shorter (and I'm 5'5 so I stand on my toes to reach that lol). It shines light from the side of the attic
My newest pickup that I got in March: 31" Snow White Casablanca Wailea with Snow White/Bleached Oak Blades. One of the older models I got off eBay for 80 flat and the light kit was 30. This fan is a powerful one. I'm going to install it in my bathroom and replace this old light that's been in my house since I was a baby. I had the most difficult time trying to install the switch housing because it uses the plug in style, but there's NO SPACE in the housing in the first place. EVEN freaking WORSE TRYING TO INSTALL THIS DAMN LIGHT. Deadass had to FORCE everything under there. Everything works and is one of the best fans I think I've ever gotten
This is my NIB Brushed Nickel Casablanca Ventura. ebay for 100 (most I've ever paid). Inteli Touch with 50" Maple blades and an aftermarket 4" fitter with an oversized globe (I love that concept of having an oversized globe on fans). This one is going to replace my Europa in my bedroom. Leaning towards 5 blades, but four still looks good. Word on the street is that 5 is the only way to go when you have a Ventura
This is the newest control that I got off ebay for about 12 bucks. It's a simple 4 speed Casablanca control. I'm not sure if I will install it anywhere, but for now, it's just chillin
This is a 52" Polished Brass Casablanca Four Seasons III with Oak/Bleached Oak blade. I know people don't like any Four Seasons past the 1st generation, but this thing still has the Casablanca name on it and for 20 bucks on craigslist and i couldn't pass it up. Recently the 3 speed chain broke and I'm currently waiting for the replacement to come in. Light kit and glass is not original to the fan, but it adds a nice touch to it. I kept it installed on my testing rack solely because it matches the attic and looks real nice. I might ask one of my aunts if I can install it in her room because it matches everything in her room too
These are the rest of my controls: Casablanca W-4 (huge childhood fan control and I Really want to find a fan to install it with), Inteli-Touch W-11 (which I don't know if it works yet because I bought it for my Zephyr so I wanna work with someone to see if it's still good), Inteli Touch W-83 (going to try and install it with my Ventura), and a Lutron Double Control (fan on one side, light on the on the other, all controlled by the toggle switch. And yes, my work station is a Thomas the Tank Engine table lmao. Don't Judge me
Now, the pride of my collection: my 42" Dusty Rose Casablanca Lady Delta with Dusty Rose blades. Slumber Three. Originally came with an open glass, but it matched four other glasses so now I have a full 5 set. One blade is fucked up and threw the whole thing off equilibrium. I've been trying to replace the bracket (because its the only fucked up thing on it) and (as I expected) the color is so rare, that no one has extras lying around anywhere, no businesses and no collectors So, I recently just bought a new flywheel that will accept 4/5 since the og flywheel is 5 only and just use 4 blades when it's installed. I don't trust myself trying to replace this flywheel since its so old and the steps involve disconnecting a lot of crap, so I'm waiting to work with someone to get it fixed. If my aunts allow me, I'm going to go install it in one of their bedrooms
This is my first fan install from back in October 2014. This is a 52" Bakersfield fan with Oak/Cane blades. Originally has 5 blades and a downrod, but I installed it like this cause I think it look better, but I recently made it so the downrod will be installed. Got it off ebay for about 40 bucks. As you can see, this is the center glass that came with the Lady Delta but my 5 globe light kit looks better on this fan with these 5 glasses. Also going to try and install it in my aunt's Dining room or Living room (its in the same shape as mine with the two Metropolitans). Going to be installed with all 5 blades to have no extra pieces
This is my favorite but also the problem child of my collection. A 52" Antique Brass Casablanca Zephyr with Dark Oak/ Cane Blades. Got it of craigalist for 10 bucks. Here's the problems: the original owners never used the Inteli Touch control (don't think they got one because when they sold it to me, they told me they just worked it from a regular light switch, which I didn't know you could do) so I don't know if the board is good or not. Next, the light board started to smoke on me after I installed this light kit so I think it burned out, and personally, I thought this light kit would look good on it. I was mistaken, so I bought a new one (that installs under the switch cap cover to give it more of a Casablanca look) and I haven't installed it since that light board smoked on me. So, I'm going to pay to convert it to IT3 board so it'll still work for me. The Hang-Tru didn't come with the final latch, so I'm going to buy a LCP, a new bounting bracket, and new screws and make it look like that. But I really love the look of it. I want to install it in my aunt's living room or dining room if they let me
Last, theres this thing. a 42" Progress Lighting Brushed Nickel Airpro Hugger. I'm trying to get rid of this one. Comes with everything but the light kit. This fan is POWERFUL for coming from Progress Lighting. Message me if you want this! You'll need to install your own light kit if you choose because this light kit is on my Ventura.
That's what I have for you so far!
