Model: Supra 52
This is a 52" Minka Aire Supra ceiling fan in the Brushed Steel finish with Silver blades. The model number is F568-BS and this fan is dated to have been manufactured November 2000, making this a very early version of this model. This fan features a 188mm x 15mm motor and uses your standard 3-speed pull chain operation. The fan you see here was previously used as a showroom display model and saw very little use during it's lifetime which leaves it in near-mint condition today.
Every fan company seems to have their staple fan model, one that seems to stand the test of time and continues to sell even decades after it's released on the market; for Minka Aire, that would probably be the Supra. By the late 90's Minka Aire was beginning to really make a name for themselves in the industry, offering several designer models and making their way into the showroom echelon of the market. From what I can tell the Supra model was introduced in 2001 in a variety of (3) sizes; 52", 44" and 32". This model was also offered in several finishes and quickly assumed the roll of Minka Aire's standard and versatile model. Essentially this was the go-to fan for someone who wanted something that would work with a variety of interior styles without paying a premium that other brands had. Now over 20 years later, the Supra is still on the market and a staple of Minka Aires lineup. Over the years there have been several finishes added/discontinued and versions that include light kits have also been made available.
Overall this fan performs very well for what you get at a lower price point. The components are your standard cast-zinc and stamped steel but it doesn't feel cheap. I suppose my only criticism is that the blades are MDF, this cheaper material could experience sag or warping after a prolonged use. The motor is silent and the overall output of air movement is fairly decent. Overall just a great value and decent fan!

I've always loved these. I have several variants too.
These are and have been great fans for years. My local stores sold tons until the prices went up. These were amazing values and they look nice too.
I just got the 44” version recently at habitat and I’ll be demonstrating mine sometime soon but I had no idea even the 44” model uses a 188x15 which is extremely impressive especially for a fan of that size
The fact that it’s a display model and is from the 2000s without having the blades sag overtime must mean it may have been used in the store running. There were three of them near me in a pet store in AB with bowl lights. Wish I could of saved them but they got replaced after it closed down. They were replaced with HDC Mewrys.
I’ve never seen an antique brass Supra. Are you sure they weren’t satin brass?
Great fans. 44” ones are easily the best performance builder on the market, and the 52” are great value too. The newer ones use 1” diameter downrods instead of 3/4” (outside diameter) and they switched to plywood blades.
Ahhh yea the classic Del Mar fans and lighting fan
0:41 classic air-cool AC-552 on the tag
I actually really want to own one of these, especially an earlier one with the brushed steel finish.
I'm curious about the 44" Supra, considering it has the same 188x15mm motor in it that the 52" model has
I have videos of the Brushed Steel and White versions.
Hopefully I’ll video mine this week if I have time
I am kind of surprised they still use the same box art except with the new logo…
