I guess the previous owners put in another pullchain when the variable speed was fried... but thats my guess and its least likely

It was never variable speed.. It was originally equipped with the Pull switch mounted to the PC board that contains capacitors to give the speeds.. It's not uncommon for these to have two pull switches.. I saw one about a year ago at the local Habitat, and it didn't even have a light kit on it..

NAFCO was SwitchCo's (www.ceilingfanparts.com) short lived house brand. They still have some NOS fans lying around.

I like that thing! Are the other side of the blades stencil or cane?

Gulf coast fans at the time this was made used GE motors, and I think some of the late 80s-early 90s Gulf Coast models were manufactured by kenroy. No wonder the 56" Naples that Daniel has looks like it has the same motor housing. While I did read that they may have used GE motors at one point (and only some, some used Kontrust motors), I do not believe that Kenroy ever had anything to do with these, Kenroy did not even make their own fans, Kontrust made them. I do not think the Naples used the exact motor housing.

Kenroy was a label, and according to collectors and even the fan flywheel pages, it's listed that Kenroy models use the same flywheel...
Motor housing looks exactly the same to me:
Looks like a later model Naples.. Note the thinner motor housing and exposed flywheel:

The NAF Co has been added to the Taiwan Gallery, and has a video:
Turn up your speakers, you'll hear a car accident that happened over a block and a half away while filming that scene at 11:50.. Car crashes into a light poll, and it made the news
