Very neat for 1985.. Love those SMCs with the three wood blades.. Alot of bell canopy stuff, when infact the next year in 1986 everything went ball and socket..

Adjusted for inflation, that 1985 "Sear's Best" with remote and light fixture, would cost about $898.00 in 2016. Amazing how things have changed, for better or worse. A family friend has a NuTone Veranda with a fancy light kit in her dining room. I have not been to her house in about fifteen years, but the speed control did not work, and it only ran on high. The fan was almost never used. When I asked about buying it, she laughed and said in "today's money," that fan cost more than $1,000.00, and she would never sell it. It was a beautiful installation, even lightly caulked around the canopy in a stunning 1920's Craftsman.

I used the Canadian Inflation Calculator, and it ended up being $698.42 |

Alright, here's what the costs of those ceiling fans would be in 2016 using the inflation calculator. Note: This is how much the ceiling fans without the light kits would cost.
"Sears' Best" SMC A52 Ornate - $698.42
SMC U52 - $431.37
SMC U42 - $390.28
SMC A52 - $534.08
SMC 52" Laguna - $328.66
SMC 36" Laguna - $349.20
SMC Three-bladed Laguna - $225.94
It's strange that the 36" Laguna was more expensive than the 52" Laguna in that catalogue.

Could the pricing for the 36" Laguna be a misprint? |
