    Which make of fan is this

    Anyone know what make fan this is, its in a retirement home kitchen. The apartment we were working in has had a fire so our fan was a melted blob of plastic, this picture is from an vacant apartment. Looking at the (melted) wiring I think it might be a trickle fan with a boost switch.
