I took a picture of my entire fan collection. Missing is a black Honeywell similar to the black one on the computer desk, my Crest, and the Panama. Anything that you want a closer look at, say so and I'll snap some pics. The battery powered fans don't really count, but I included them anyway.

Yeah I remember your collection you already posted it before. Right now I have 6 portable fans. I used to have much more. At one time I had like 10 fans. But some got broken. I used to have a black & chrome 10'' Holmes Retro desk fan that looks a lot like the one you got in the back. But the blades were so skinny that one of them broke. I got that fan in 1999 and the blade broke in 2003 or 2004 I think. Beside the blades that were too skinny the fan itself was really well built and pretty heavy. The ONLY plastic part was the back motor cover. The base was made of HEAVY hard steel. The grill was also unbendable. The the blades were crap. I also used to have a Windmere 7'' desk fan. I got it in 1997. It was 2 speed and oscillating. You got the same in the middle of the glass table but mine had clear gray blades. For a very short time around 1998 or 1999 I had the SAME Duracraft 8'' 2 speed fan that is red, blue, orange and green. On the right of the glass table. I really like your 4 bladed Holmes stand fan. Those are something like 18 or 19''. I like the Holmes 5 bladed stand fan on the right, the Ivory 10'' Duracraft box fan in the middle and the white plastic 2-speed Sunrise desk fan on the right of the table is so cute. I know pretty much most of the fans you have. The green triangle Holmes fan on the left is called something like Tropical Cool or Tropical Breeze right?

I need to get rid of the old battery powered fans, and the glade plug in thing. The Airworks retro style fan is pretty well built, and puts out a respectable amount of air. It's all metal. There really isn't any plastic on it other than the tilt know. It's one of the more well built fans that I have (other than the Lakewoods).
Jean, you have a Windmere desk fan with translucent blades??!? I've been looking for one for a long time. I got the one that you saw, and the green one in front of the Lasko. They came in a pack of two. I'm looking for one with the gray translucent blades and gray accents. I got one of those for my third birthday, and the oscillator broke, along with the cord. My dad fixed it and used it at his office, and threw it out when it broke again.
The 4 bladed Holmes is a 20", and the stand is broken. I'm fixing it right now. That thing has insane power. Probably more powerful than the box fan. The 5 bladed Holmes is a trash find, after fixing it up, it's remote controlled too! I'm also looking for the Duracraft model that predates the ivory one that I have. I had one in blue and white blades, been looking for another one.
What white plastic 2 speed Sunrise? You mean the Tozai?
I'm looking for a translucent purple blade for the Green Holmes Tropicool. It broken when I was a kid. I was bending the blade and it snapped.

I have a battery powered air freshener like that beige one on the table. I've got a black and a white 12" stand/table fan like your multicolored one and a blue and white turbofan like that other one. I've got an older gray Duracraft box fan and used to have two, but I sold the other, sorry.
I've got a Honeywell black turbo fan just like yours on the left. I've also got a Windmere desk fan like your white one and a Holmes Tropicool but mine is blue with a green blade. I have a white hand fan like that blue, pink and green one and a little Advantage white fan like that tilting one on the right of the table. AND I've got that snake fan.
We have a lot of the same stuff. lol

None of these look old to me.

The oldest fan I have is probably the brown Lakewood on the side, then the beige Holmes in the middle of the table. The oldest fan I bought was the white 18" Windmere on the right. Most of them are from the late 80's to the 90's, with a few in the 2000s. I have most of them because I've seen them during my lifetime and are interested in them. I'm looking to add some older fans though, when I have the money and the time.

I dont see the brown Lakewood . . . I like the tan window fan to the left of the box fan.
I have some 1960s and earlier box, window, and desk fans.

Here are the ones I current have: This Wind Chaser 16'' Air Circulator from May 2003. It have a revolving front grill. Very cool feature. Blows a ton of air and its also very quiet. Incredible fan. We use it right now in the living room. Mostly on low since it blow so much air without being noisy. One of the most quality and perfomant fan I even had. Color: ivory and dark blue. A Honeywell 16'' High Velocity Pedestal fan from 2001. It use a remote control. I don't really like this one, it makes a lot of air noise. But its the only pedestal fan we ever had. During the VERY HOT summer of 2001 my mom wanted a powerful fan. And she got one. We don't use it right now. Color: All white 1997 Super-Electric 16'' Desk fan. Those overlapping plastic blades makes a deep low air noise. It have been a life saver in the bedrooms before we had A/C. We current use it in the kitchen. I even had to turn it off to take the picture. Color: Light gray and dark gray. Super-Electric 12'' Desk fan. Not sure the exact year of this one but its definitely not over 1994 and not below 1992. So I'm pretty sure its from 1993. Very quiet running but the oscillator is broken. Super have made this fan up to 2004 or 2005 and cammed out in 1990. The later ones had gray blades, mine have dark blue blades. We currently don't use it since I'm repairing the oscillator. Color: light gray and dark blue. 1985 Sears 18'' Desk Fan. This fan is an heritage from my grand-father. He passed away on December 19th 1999 and he bought the fan in August 1985. It have a slow start and squeak a little at the start but once it reach it speed it runs fine. Very slow on low and on high its almost like if the fan would take off in the air. I'm sure the motor needs grease and/or WD-40. My grand-Father have use it SO MUCH. Even in the winter I think. Its funny its like if the speed buttons colors were: Vanilla, Caramel, Cafe Au Lait and Chocolate. ;D Color: ivory and brown. Dam I should have took these pics during the day. My flash makes horrible pics. If you wants more and/or better pic just ask me. I also rote what are the real color of the fan because I took these pics without flash at night.
