Crest “Hi-Tech Fan” Ceiling Fan

Brand: Crest
Model: 04-821 "Hi-Tech Fan"
This is a 52" Crest ceiling fan in a Green finish, shown with a matching set of Green finish blades and the original light kit that was included with the fan. This fan features your standard 3-speed pull chain operation, reversible motor, and the ability to utilize a downrod or mount flush to the ceiling. The model number is 04-821 and this fan was manufactured in 1991.
In the 1980's, Crest ceiling fans were everywhere. This brand was seemingly sold at nearly every hardware store in the 80's/early 90's and was a popular choice for many consumers due to their basic styling, accessibility, and price point. Crest was a brand that tended to not use conventional model names for most of their models which makes it hard to pin a specific name to the fan you see here. Early on, their models were defined by numerical series such as the "2000 Series" or "4500 Series". The fact that this fan is new in the box and doesn't provide that clarity is an example of that. Do you call it the "Duomount Style with Light Kit", or "Hi-Tech Fan"? Or maybe just refer to it by the model number? Both names appear on the box however it's not very clear. What is clear is that this model was Crest's venture into the niche of pastel finishes which had a brief surge in market popularity during the late 80's/early 90's. Unfortunately it's hard to capture the true finish of this fan on camera, this Green finish is more of a prominent "Mint Green" in person. According to the box, this model was also offered in Blue, Pink, Peach, and White; all of which I assume were in the same pastel vein as the Green finish shown - aside from White.
All in all this is a decent, but fairly basic fan that performs okay. The metal components are your standard stamped metal but at least the blades appear to be solid wood. Aside from a little wobble on the higher speeds and minor motor hum, the fan runs perfectly fine. Overall this fan serves as a cool example of the pastel finishes that had a brief moment of popularity when this fan was sold.
