Decided to stroll down to my small local Habitat today and came across 4 ceiling fans. They're not really anything I'd be interested in personally, but if anyone is interested let me know. Figured it wouldn't hurt to check. Hampton Bay Cameron (No switch housing) Some Casablanca rip off (No switch housing) Unbranded ceiling fan cane blades Unknown Hampton Bay Model white stencil blades (No globe)

Figured it wouldn't hurt to check. Thank you for sharing this! Where was this ReStore if I may ask? My advice would be to keep checking-in, as you never know what fans could turn up. Some Casablanca rip off (No switch housing) Gulf Coast Renaissance I would guess. Unbranded ceiling fan cane blades Something Halsey-made. Unknown Hampton Bay Model white stencil blades (No globe) That would be a Minuet II. It appears to be an uncommon CEI-made variant at that. The white, stenciled bladeset belongs to another fan.

Yeah I try to check there at least once every other week. Last time I went there was pretty much nothing so I didn't post about it. The only difference between that fan and a Gulf Coast Renaissance is a it doesn't have pretzel brackets. I was wondering about this one, did Halsey make 4 blade versions too? I swear I've seen one before. Yes you're right! I can't believe I didn't notice that, those stencil blades really confused me lol. I don't remember ever seeing a brass Minuet II for sale at Home Depot, but I know they existed at some point, did they only make them for a short amount of time only?

But I'm trying to refrain from buying it. The Minuet II is cool but it doesn't have the original blades so I'm passing on that one. Funny I didn't even notice it was a Minuet at first lol.

Funny I didn't even notice it was a Minuet at first lol. Me too after looking at the pictures again lol.. Unfortunately that is a problem I have, if its not something I need but its dirt cheap, I tend to buy it anyways.. I didn't notice it was a Minuet 2 either until Max underscored that.. They are very uncommon in the AB finish, so its quite a shame the blades are missing.. I don't know exactly what explains their rarity, but I do know that the white one is always what's pictured in the fan brochures, whereas with the Minuet 1, the brass one was pictured.. May just be that at the time it came out, brass had phased out of the majority of the market..

the minuet hb fan is the one i like the most due to blade size,yep 30" 6 bladed thing indeed,most likely the first one with "C" arms since i never seen the 2nd one(double circle arms)in ab and i had on the first "C" arms version before..
the unbranded cane blade fan is mix of litex,concord or other brand that not heard of..etc

May just be that at the time it came out, brass had phased out of the majority of the market..I'm still struggling with this urge to buy it lol. It is really cheap if I remember correctly, we'll have to see what happens when I head back to Habitat.. hopefully it's not there anymore lol. I honestly think I'd buy it if it had the blades, I like those little fans. Yeah it's strange, but as we all know, Hampton Bay really doesn't have any rhyme or reason as to what they do. Let's not forget the Minuet I was labeled Minuet II, and the 600 different Landmark designs, and the re-used design of the Huntington I. I honestly wish they made a brass Littleton and a brass Grayton with cane blades. That would be amazing.

I never actually payed attention to them, I don't know if they're "C" or double circled. I'll have to take a look next time. I really wish this fan came with the correct blades.. What were they thinking by putting those oversized blades on it.. So the unbranded one isn't even too high on quality. I didn't think it would be, but ugh I'm still tempted to get it for its looks.
