I'm not sure whether this is 42" or 44". I forgot to measure before taking it down and it's hard to tell without being fully assembled. I'm having a hard time getting the color to show but it is an antique brass even though the pictures don't look it. The motor died on one so we replaced the other at the same time so they match. This one was used very little. Including the parts from the second as spares or if you want to replace the motor and use it.
