It appears that I misplaced a new-in-box paddle fan in my home for several years.

Admittedly, at a certain point, I just assumed I'd given it to one of my brothers, and that explained why it wasn't where I thought it was. But, no, it was over in a corner under another box, waiting to be discovered once I moved that box.

Note to self: Continue clearing cruft.
