Sears (CEI) 52" ceiling fan in antique brass. Thanks for those in the group that provided input on what this is. The blade arms originally made me feel like it was from Sears, so that with the additional input is what we're going with. Found in the trash during Cleanup Week several years ago, kept sitting on it and have debated parting it out many times, but ultimately it's in nice enough shape and has some quirky details that I figured it was worth cleaning up. Was missing all mounting bits and downrod, so generic stuff I had on hand was used. Also had a basic single globe light kit on it, but it needed repair so I just went ahead and took it off entirely. Again, decent shape overall. Some blade warpage, one is kind of warped close to zero pitch so that probably helps with how fast it runs, but they're real wood finish which was another contributor toward keeping it together. Nice finish on them. Cane inserts are kind of fragile and crumbling or peeling in places around the edges, but nothing super detrimental other than hard to clean. Decent power with everything considered; it's a stamped spinner, but definitely not a small one. Runs fast whether that warped blade contributes or not, but not a crazy pitch to the arms either, so it kind of evens out to averagely good airflow. Just a generally good, basic, classic style fan.
