I wonder what blade brackets the one at the Habitat has.. 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. How many stencil blades were there? The irons are neither, so they're not original to the Minuet.. It looks like there may only be three blades, which is probably the case unless there's 6..
I suppose that unbranded one would be a beautiful piece of garbage.. I have one of those in my collection,, its a Heritage..
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 hope it is there, so you can buy it.. Then if you need to in the future, you can always get rid of it (yeah right, lol)..
This is true, Hampton Bay is all over the place.. some of their stuff is just impossible to nail down for sure..
I think the brass Littleton style fans look tacky, maybe if it had a different light then it would be okay.. But I think I'll take it in white for now (and I really, really like brass fans).. The Grayton however, I would love to see in brass.. Cane would be great, but I'd settle for stencil too.. There are SMC fans that look just like the Grayton, but in brass..
that used to be my fan till i sold it to zachary yarnes like 2008 or 2009 or so,that's polish brass,i was talking about antique brass on this kind vs the first older one with "C" arms kind It may look like polished brass,, but it can't be.. they were only sold in antique brass, both this version and the one with the C irons..

I still want it. Yeah I just looked at another picture I took of the Minuet, the blades have totally different brackets. Does the unbranded one you have have 5 blades or 4? Lol I probably will buy it, I'll try and work them down in the price so it's more worth it. Yeah I'll most likely be stuck with it once I buy it. That's because the only brass Littleton (that I know of) is made by Aloha Breeze. So it has that small and skinny motor housing. Which makes it look very cheap. There's also the first version of the Carriage House by Hampton Bay but that has 5 blades. Yeah the one that I've seen by SMC that is like the Grayton is the Promo Deluxe 36" but even that has a slightly different motor shape. I haven't seen one identical to the Grayton that's in brass. Yes! I don't know why I didn't think of that, stencil would be great as well! I should try and create this in photoshop, no promises but I might be able to. I've done it before.

Well it's actually not a hugger, it's a hugger design with a canopy on the top.. very weird design, I've never seen it before anywhere else.

The light kit is unoriginal to the fan, they basically hacked a new antique brass light kit on there on top of the existing light kit.. but I think it looks alright all things considered. I actually kind of like the look of it. If you look closely you'll see the canopy. If you can't see it I'll take a better pic tomorrow.

lol believe me it is polish brass,that used to be my fan, I seen it up close in person before Zachary got it The Minuet series has never been sold in polished brass at any point in time. The actual finish of that fan would be satin brass (a combination of antique and polished brass).

TheIf you look closely you'll see the canopy. Canopy? This is a hugger.. why does it have a canopy? I don't see it..
Overall not a horrible looking fan,, but I'm not thrilled with the sketchy irons.. Would have much preferred the standard shape or pretzel ones.. The housing reminds me of an Armitage
lol but why my fan was shiny gold when i had it? i dont get it Satin brass does have some shininess to it, but not as much as polished brass

Trust me there is one. Yeah those blade arms do stretch out far, I kind of like the rectangle design on them though, it's an uncommon look. Yeah I actually thought it was some sort of brass Armitage, but I could never find one in brass so it was always a mystery until I actually got the fan and was able to look at the stickers. I've been meaning to flip the blades on this fan, they reverse to a different wood finish. Just as a curiosity. Would you have noticed the light kit being unoriginal if I didn't say anything about it?

Anyways, here is the canopy. Seems to have accepted a pole too but it was flush mounted instead. Definitely an odd fan.
