I've seen many pictures of the Florentine IV and very few of the Florentine 1. I was wondering what the history of this series is and what the Florentine II and Florentine III looked like. Because there is a huge difference between the Florentine 1 and the Florentine IV. Florentine (42 Inch)  Florentine IV (56 Inch) Attachment Deleted |

The Florentine II was green lucite with green lucite blades and chrome with a light kit.

The Florentine was a case of recycled names for no good reason, each preceding model has little-nothing to do with the previous.. If anything the first should have been the Grayton 3

Awesome! Thank you for the pictures! You wouldn't happen to have a picture of a Florentine III would you? |

Yes it sure seems to be the case. I'm still curious as to what the Florentine III looked like. I certainly agree with the name Grayton 3, it looks almost just like a Grayton except with 5 blades and a different light. I find the Graytons to be very neat fans which is what made the Florentine 1 appeal to me. Only problem is I've had no luck finding a Florentine 1. |

I saw some of these at a Burger King. 1 of them had the housing screws coming out so low that they hit the blades. |

There is a newer 56 inch Grayton it seems, it's not nearly as awesome as the Grayons 1-2. Quite a shame it was changed to this extent. So far the Grayton 1 is my favorite as well, however that 2001 Grayton has appealed to me the most, only problem is it's very hard to find. |

I think I've seen something like this before. It looks like a Casablanca - cool! |

I'm surprised they completely reused the name Grayton.. Interesting.. I suppose it does apply to this fan though

Looks similar to Hampton Bay Metro/Minka Aire Rainman Here's a video of Minka Aire Rainman. I suppose Grayton would have same or similar performance (same motor size), which is like medium on high: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO2uu1TL7EU |
