Michigan Fan Sightings Part II

[Will H]

Just got back from another Michigan Road Trip. This time we went to this town called Bear Lake, where my Grandparents have a cabin on the lake. I didn't really have a chance to take a whole lot of pics, but most of the fans pictured are childhood fans since I've been going up there since I was 4.
First off at this Restaurant called Redamak's in New Buffalo MI, there is an assortment of Late 90's fans. I believe Rick has pictures of these fans as well. Every time I'm there the fans are never on the same speed they were the last time I passed threw New Buffalo.
The First Room has HB Builders Bests, about 10.



There is also this HB All Weather.


The Porch Room had 7 Hunter Cabana's, but only two remain.



One of two HB All Weather Replacements.


Classic Replacement.


The back room has 42" and 52" Casablanca Four Seasons II's and one HB Calera Replacement.




We stopped at the Grand Haven Restore, it had a couple cool fans.


One of those Nubreezes.



Westinghouse.


I'm blanking on this one.


Encon. Had SOS blades facing the ceiling.


Quiet Breeze.


This Lil' Encon.


I walked out with the Codep and a few other cool parts I'll post about later.

Next, in this 50's diner in Manestee MI, there were two Fasco Heat Cyclers. The speed controller has never been changed as far as I know. They have always run on a mellow low speed.




They also had this Harbor Breeze in the back room.


This breakfast place in Bula MI called the Cherry Hut had this Union/Evergo.


In the Bear Lake Ace Hardware there were four of the Dayton Leading Edge fans.



They had a small ceiling fan selection.


I walked out with a NIB Encon light kit.

There were these weird Laskos at a thrift store. I offered to buy them, but the owner said she used them too much.



This Habitat in Ludington MI had some nice fans installed.
Two Hunter Regalia II's and a Walfart in the main room.



A Hunter Passport II.


A Hunter Mariner.


A Little Sears.


And a Nutone Hugger.


For sale they had some cool fans.


K-Mart.


One of those weird square fans.

It was a flush mount.





Alaska.


Any ideas?


I walked out with a Fasco Great Room and some adapt air blades.

Thats it.

[Daniel G.]

Great sightings! I had an AB version of that Codep, but I sold it to Dan a while ago.

I always found those square things interesting. Wasn't there someone on YT years ago that had one?

[Jean Lemieux]

Lots of cool fans. That's actually a lot of pictures.

This is what looked like Hasbro Breezes Builder Best in the late 1990's?

The Fasco Heat Cyclers looks awesome in this diner with the discs. A very cool idea.

The Ace Hardware has older stock it seems. Hunter does not use this box style and logo anymore.

Those three blade Laskos are very rare it seems. A post was recently made about them.

[Deleted]

I typed out a long post and the internet ate it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the diner, the breakfast place, and the hardware store installs. ESPECIALLY the breakfast place.

I dont think anyone has seen those 3 blade Laskos before, outside of in the Sears catalog. Glad you offered to buy them. I would have offered to replace them with larger new fans (e.g. from the Restore).

I would have been tempted to buy the square fan "just because". I dont really want one, but how often do we see one?

[Adam D.]

I knew those Sears 3 bladed things would eventually pop up somewhere..

Like the Fascos and the Evergo..

[fancollector12]

Not bad! And your finds sound awesome as well! I would've gotten the square fan if I were there.

[JW]

The "Any ideas?" is also an Alaska.

[Will H]

I offered to replace the Laskos with these two AB costal breezes for sale at another restore that had nothing of interest. The owner said the laskos fit too right in the store.

I would have gotten the square fan if there wasn't a great room there. The yt user who had one was csfandude.

If anyone wants to see Michigan fan sightings part I I will be glad to post it here, there are a ton of pics.

[fancollector12]

Yes please I'd love to see the part 1.

[Jean Lemieux]

I would love to see part one too. Why didn't you started with the first part first?

In the Montréal area Catalina Square fans show up on Kijiji regularly. Four blade models without light kit are more rare but five blade models with four lights are common. I didn't know people liked them. I thought they were considered ugly.

[fanmaster10000]

Awesome sightings! those Lasko's look really cool. Can't wait to see what you bought. Also, if you could post part 1 that would be cool. I also saw one of those square fans in white www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFyCLAyXsnY

[Will H]

Alright here's part 1. This thread I posted on DT when I did a similar road trip with my dad two years ago. Some of you have probably seen this thread, but it's no trouble posting it here considering it's just a copy and paste job. I have since learned more about these fans, so I already know the brands and models of just about all of these, remember this is two years old.

A Hunter Henley at Jackies Restaurant in Holland. Most of the Holland fans earlier in the thread are childhood fans to be because my aunt has lived in Holland my whole life. There used to be 4 Crest huggers here until the place burned down in 2010. They rebuilt it and installed two of these Henleys from Menards.

Now these next few pics were taken even before we got to Holland. These are located in an antique shop in New Buffalo MI right next to Redamaks restaurant. The classics in the other room were all bent up and wobbling.




Now, for the moment you've been waiting for (Dan) The Island fans at Butlers restaurant in Saugatuk MI. There were about 10. Island fans was a small electric company based out of Grand Rapids MI in the late 60's and 70's. IDK when the stopped making them. These fans only spin clockwise and the blades are pitched the other direction of most fans. I really want to get my hands on these. They are very common at Western MI Habitats/thrift stores. My dad says he faintly remembers these as a kid/teen!!

The Cap/Tag.






They also had this Summer Breeze II.

And two NuTone huggers.

That's it.
