Here are the ceiling fans that Sears Canada sold in the early 80's. This is from the Spring and Summer 1981 catalogue. I hope you enjoy the pictures.   |

I may never be able to imagine what it was like to go to a store and it be full of nice quality fans like this.. Absolutely incredible..
Looks like they put that 36" economy fan together wrong!

Those gold plated 24K spinners looks just like the one in my living room, except it's 48" and has the vaulted ceiling adapter. Hard to imagine it would had cost that much back then.

Those ceiling fans sure was expensive. The "Economy" ceiling fan would cost $365.99 Canadian in today's money.

Odd looking fans that look to be made by SMC, and the metal bladed with the blades installed upside down..

Odd looking fans that look to be made by SMC, and the metal bladed with the blades installed upside down.. There are actually the standard SMC of the 1970's and very early 1980's. Wilcorp imported the same models. They used a metal lower canopy and often the upper canopy is plastic. The F model would be a SMC 36F, the small version of my 1972 SMC 60F. ada19851985.proboards.com/thread/10675/1972-smc-60f-140-circulating?page=1Model G is of course made by Evergo. |

Another awesome catalog. Thanks for posting. I recognize all the models. It's nice to know where all the fans we see in real were purchased originally.

I believe that "Evergo" ceiling fan is actually from Banvil. |
