Catalog collection, 1000 strong!

[fantasticfans]

So I have a lot of catalogs. Anyone who knows me knows that. I just surpassed 1000 catalogs and thought I would give a rundown of what I have got. I could get pictures but it will take more time. I will go through alphabetically what I have. Note there are some duplicates and other coordinating lighting ones I am including. But 1000 is 1000 and they all have fans or fan related products in them. If its all lighting I am gonna just skip it for this list since this is a fan forum not a lighting one. An open dash means its still going onward throughout future years

Wind River 2018-(complete set but missing first two issues, BUT all the fans are in the issues I have. If I have all the fans thats good enough for me)
I also have lots of Lamps Plus, Shades Of Light and Rejuvenation from the last couple years. Would have Lumens too but they never freaking arrive so screw them. I also have the Casablanca fan book and Collectors guide to antique fans. Those two aren't in the count but still cool.
I also have lots of dealer binders with price lists and spec sheets.
Brand like River Of Goods, Parrot Uncle and Prominence Home I also know about. They have no catalogs though. Before you say they suck, I have worked with all 3 and they actually are pretty decent. I do actually have a bit of skill selling fans so I try to keep up with the industry as best as possible. I may even do it more than Cole at VF&M does and he literally does reviews for some new fans. If theres anything in particular that strikes your interest let me know.

Just curious how many unique pieces of literature are there without counting the duplicates?

[fantasticfans]

I dunno. A lot of the duplicates I have are older ones because in recent years I slowed down on them. The only reason I take them now is if I need one because my copy is beat up. It would probably be around 500-600 individuals. All the magazines and brochures I have there are no duplicates to and I have a lot of them so it adds up quick.

[becausecanadia]

Catalogs are neat but the reason I don't collect them is I would buy one, flip through it once and then never touch it again. IMO not worth the money to me. Same reason why I don't buy magazines anymore.

[fantasticfans]

Meanwhile I have spent hundreds on some of mine lol. They aren't for everyone. Of course I do sell fans and also help people with fans a lot so they have more use than they usually would to a collector.

[Ic total drama]

Remember me on YouTube? Also what unique fans are in the 2003 and 4 Minka?

[fantasticfans]

Hard to say since I only have those 2. I would need 2002 and 2005 to be sure on what was only available for one year.

[Tais]

I never bothered with catalogs, but i got only 3 i think, 2 from the ceiling fan company, one with only hunter and another one with hunter and kichler.. 3rd catalog is a jaspa catalog with orient fans

[Ic total drama]

Wasn’t there the sunquest swing halo and linear? Also 2005 was full of interesting fans I just can find photos also I found the names from Hansen wholesale archives

[fantasticfans]

Some of those. The archive is a neat place to check out.
