I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about the Hampton Bay Minuet series. There is something that confuses me about them because both of these Minuets below are labeled as The Minuet II when they are a slightly different design. and where's the Minuet I? Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

Which do you like better? Minuet II or III? And yes you should, I'd be very interested in seeing those.

I like II better. My Minuet IIs had stickers on motor but I removed them as they are unnecessary and can be annoying to see it move around.

The Minuet I had C blade brackets and 30" blades. The Minuet II had O blade brackets and 32" blades.
They did have a Minuet that was like a Litex Vortex.
The Minuet III is only white, multi-colored blades, no vents, 36".

The Minuet II is a very good looking fan. The Minuet III is alright, it's just way too modernized for my liking. Did they ever make any Minuets in a brass finish?

I think the only reason the first picture of the minute I is labeled minute II because the home depot is usually lazy at changing fans For example, that fan is actually a Hampton Bay Minute I, but the workers there decided to just paste the Sticker of the Minute II Since they don't want to hassle with reinstalling a new model. I've seen this before with the Littleton. There was a very old SMC version of the fan with the Oreo Pulls on display, nothing like the newer ones they provide. So you basically have found a picture of a Minute I that I assume is made by SMC since the switch cap and the blades have a good resemblance to them. Here is a video of the Minute I made by Max C. here is a picture of one From Zachary Y. I think

Did they ever make them in polished brass?
