These church installs are really incredible!
What is with the angled installs? That's really strange..
I like the little High Breeze in the bathroom..
The GEC is really nice too.. The fans installed angeled is to blow air from the sides too and not just above people. It was really cool to have a little fan in the bathroom en plus of the one in the room. That GEC Witton was one of the collest sighting along with the four blade USHA for that month. No one knows what are the unknown fans? |

Yes these I know that they are Kassels. Do you know what are the old ones. Some of them are painted silver. The blades remind me of Crompton blades from the 1960's and older. |

Here are the sightings for March. A late 1970's early 1980's Canarm 140 cm in a car part store near my workplace. (Montréal)  About three of those Hampton Bay Industrial in a restaurant in the Village (Montréal).  Now moving on to Paris (230V - 50 Hz). In my hotel room I had this awesome Vortice Nordik Decor 90 cm. Unfortunately the upper canopy was cutted in half and the nut removed. It's very powerful and blows an insane amount of air. Even on the lowest setting I could feel a lot of air from it. It has a nice range of speeds from about as slow as 60-65 RPMS which is pretty slow for a fan of this size to very fast on high.  The speeds are actually in the right order on the controller and I love how it has a separate on and off switch to avoid having to go through all the other speeds to turn it off or vis versa. Some of you probably remember the reversible version of this controller I got in May 2016.  This is a fan I spotted last June. I finally could get a good picture of it. It's in the 15th near the Eiffel tower. It's a recent fan. I'm guessing it's a Westinghouse 120 cm but I'm not sure they made a version like this without switch housing. The canopy also makes me wonder if it's really a Westinghouse. Someone can help?  In an italian restaurant about three or four of these S&P HTB 140 cm painted in matte black. This is the transition version between the current version and the more popular version from the 1970's. I'm guessing they are from the 1990's. It's not too common to see straight bladed fans with a nice and classic well rounded motor.  Stay tuned for the April sightings for more pictures from France. |

Is there a 120V 60Hz version of those Vortice Nordik Decor fans?

Is there a 120V 60Hz version of those Vortice Nordik Decor fans? For the moment no but they recently started offering 120V 60Hz fans so maybe this model will be available in that voltage too. Do you know if the second last fan I posted is a Westinghouse or not? |

Here are the sightings for April. A SMC K56 in a bookstore in Paris that appears to be from the 1990's.  Another shot of those unknown antique brass fans in a restaurant on Île Saint-Louis in Paris I posted last August. I'm still not sure what they are. They look like Westinghouses Vintage except with filigree and one more light.  A pretty bad photo of what seems to be a black painted Westinghouse Industrial 120 cm in a egyptian restaurant near rue de Mouffetard in Paris.  In a restaurant on rue de Mouffetard a new antique brass Inspire Séville 107 cm from Leroy-Merlin.  An oil rubbed bronze Cinni Mumbai 140 cm in a restaurant in Paris.  In a grocery store near Canal Saint-Martin in Paris at least two of these Vortice Nordik design Is 90 cm.  Still close to Canal Saint-Martin, a very cool bar located in an old converted warehouse with skylights has about five Marellis Astras 140 cm restored in matte black and chrome. They must have been restored already ten years ago when a whole batch of them and Eoles were restored in this finish. This is the room where most of them are. Three on long poles and one on a portion of the ceiling that is lower.   The one on the short pole.  There was a 5th one upstairs spinning slowly but we were not allowed to go there. This place also have two vintage desk fans that you will get to see in the portable version of this thread. Still in the same area I saw my first thai fans in person. Two of them in a restaurant. They have the typical light green that most of thai fans have and are 120 cm. They have very similar blades and motors to current Husans but still have a few differences and of course the canopies are completely different from the ones on Husans. Someone can help ID them? My guess would be Mitsukawa.  A very greasy Inspire La Possession 107 cm in a turkish restaurant in the 19th of Paris. It has a bent switch housing. It's the same fan from the different angles. This would be the newer version of the fan I recently got.   An unknown antique brass 107 cm spinner from the 2000's in an indian restaurant in the 19th of Paris. The original globe would be a mushroom one. Somone knows what is it? I'm thinking of a Farelek.  What I believe to be an HBH in a café in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais.  Here in Montréal. I made another visit to my local Rona with the six unknown fans, two Canarms CP56 and two Canarm CP36 in the greenhouse, converted into a Home Hardware since spring 2016. The actual building wasn't changed, they just changed some of the stocks and aisles without touching anything on the ceiling. The western portion of the store with the two Canarms CP56 installed around 2007 that works with one of the unknown fan, installed in 1999, has been kept on a medium-high speed for the past years. Now they finally turned them off with the changes they are making in the store so I took the opportunity to take pictures of the two other fans I hadn't photographed before. The dust shows how these three fans have been used a lot. The other fans in the store are clean. Now I think I can say that I have a photo of each of the fans in that store. The Canarm CP56 in good condition. The other one have a bent blade.  The unknown fan that works on the same switch as the two Canarms.  Enjoy and comment! |

I forgot to add that on an interesting historical note, the Marelli Astra was one of the first fan to use curved metal blades along with the Marelli Condor in the mid 1920's. It's awesome to see places with good old fans like these reusing restored pieces. |
