Theses are the four red builder style fans at my local Old Navy located in Fairview Point-Claire Mall that I mentioned before. The store was open around 2006. I wonder if they ever used them at all. I highly suspect them to be West Winds Classic Design after a few researches. Th only thing that still makes me wonder is the canopy and even the pull chain. West Winds seems to still be using an older style of canopy with lines and usually have a round decorative pull chain. It's possible that the pictures we see are just old and they have changed their canopy and decorative pull since then. Notice the reversing switch is white. No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 No. 4 They are definitely not Craftmade nor Quorum. They have gotta to be theses. www.ceilingfansontheweb.com/Fans/CeilingFans/CeilingFans/ClassicDesignRedMotorWithRedBlades.htmlwww.fixya.com/support/p118463-westwind_classic_design_red_fanWhat do you think?

What an odd install.. Almost looks like there was a drop ceiling at one time and the fan was not removed..

The Old Navy in MOA had red fans-- maybe only one in front of the changing rooms. Similar mount I believe.

The Old Navy in MOA had red fans-- maybe only one in front of the changing rooms. Similar mount I believe. Mall of America's location had a whole bunch of them across the two levels and I think on similar mounts like you said, not sure what remains of those. Like you I think they're Craftmades, but I'm not positive. I may only think that because last time I saw them Casablanca and Craftmade were the only companies I knew that ever made red fans (aside from those things with spotlights from Menards). For that reason I might just picture Craftmades when they're actually something else.

Do remember when Menards sold the red and black spotlight things with no vents?

I only really remember the red, black, and white ones with builder vents. Those are the only ones I ever see even now and even then only in white, but I can still clearly picture them on the display because I loved the red and black ones. The ventless ones were of the same era? Or earlier/later?

When I was a kid, Menards offered a fan kind of like this: except the white parts were available in a host of colors-- red, blue, grey, pink, etc etc. They later switched to the vented, solid color model, available in the same variety of colors. They later eliminated all colors except black and white.

Yeah I don't remember back far enough to the ventless ones, I do remember the vented ones though.

I remember those spotlight fans with no vent holes.. They were either a black or a very dark blue/purple color and white.. They had five blades.. I didn't like them.. But they were being sold around the years 1989-90.. We don't have Menards here so they weren't sold by Menards in my area.. I think these fans came up in another thread in this forum years ago..

The Hampton Bay Waterton was probably the most recognized example of those black and white ventless fans. I've never cared much for them either, usually they're so beyond crappy cheap.

That's it.. one of these.. I googled images and sure enough the forum comes right up with one... Looks like they are being made still albeit different form, which looks nothing like this original version..
