Never seen a fan like that before.. for some reason it looks like the motor is flipped upside down Haha! I never thought about this but it does looks like it when we think about it. I think a lot of Indian fans have a rounded top, like that recent USHA Prima you recently acquired. |

Note: Photobucket decided to be stupid so I had to put some of theses lovely links that everybody hates to click on. A few pictures accumulated since late January up to last week all local in various parts of Montreal. One of theses notorious Square Fan seen in Westmount area in a condo lobby taken through the glass door. I think their brand is Catalina. They looks a lot better in this brass four blade version than the white five blade version.  A Hampton Bay Minuet II spinning fast taken through a dirty window of a store also in Westmont area.  The city hall of my area had this Canarm CP56 for as long as I can remember. The install is very cool, in a pyramid shaped skylight.  My local Village des Valeurs thrift store have many Banvil Silver Lines throughout the store. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=1871&c=47 An abandoned ice creme parlor have two of theses late 1990's Canarm black & white fans. I love their chunky construction for something more recent.  An old ivory 4 Seasons Industrial 140 cm in the staircase of Collège Saint-Laurent. (not the one that I go to) The blades are installed upside down for heat recovery air flow. It always seems to be on the same mediumish speed. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=1896&c=34s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj89/Jean2291/Ceiling%20Fans%20Sightings/?action=view¤t=4SeasonsIndustrial140cm3302_zpsd0b0c91d.jpg

I just came back from a trip to Quebec City. The hotel that I stayed in have an atrium with two big skylights and three bronze Nadair ornate fans installed there. The hotel have six stories and the fans are installed at the very top of the ceiling of the atrium and wayyy down the atrium is the restaurant of the hotel. This means that the fans are easily 20 meters in the air. Haha! Insane install! They were spinning at a sort of medium speed. I guess they are a model that comes with an integrated light kit and they were installed without it. Notice the little nut they have. The zoom I used on this picture makes the background look close but these three fans are pretty separated from one another.  More fans way UP! Again an atrium, this time at the Université Laval - Department of Fine Arts. This part of the university is located in a 19th century factory. Newer parts were added in the mid 1990's to give it a new use. This part that used to be outdoors is not an indoor atrium. They are four Canarm CP56 installed, again many floors above the ground.    Find the hidden fan. It's actually pretty easy.     A brushed nickel Westinghouse Industrial 140 cm in a restaurant with none metal blades. I don't remember if they are plastic of glossy wood. Réno-Dépôt sold this for a short amount of time around 2009-2010 or so.  Here's some interesting trivia about this 4 Seasons 90 cm four metal curved blade fan. Notice the big wood beams, it's located in a very old house from the XVII (17th) century on Rue du Petit-Champlain. The house where this fan is installed currently houses a porcelain and jewelry shop. It's originally the house my ancestor occupied when he arrived to Quebec (called New France at the time) in 1643 from Rouen, Normandy, France. There's an historical tag outside the house about it. I found this very interesting considering that today there's a fan I like a lot installed in my ancestor's house.  Note that the canopies are metal on this one. Mine have plastic canopies. It was actually spinning pretty slowly for a small fan but the photos were prohibited in this shop so I did not used the flash to be discreet. |

Some very neat pictures there, not even just the fans but some of those installs are amazing.

Humm, not too much lately. Two recent fans that needs identification confirmation. In a Subway restaurant in Saint-Polycarpe, Quebec are four of these generic recent fans. Apparently they are Regency Professional Series in satin steel just like the one I posted like July.  In a Casse-croûte in Lancaster, Ontario this white Hunter spinning slowly. I'm guessing it's an Augusta II but honestly I don't see much of difference between the Canadiana, Augusta, Augusta II and Augusta III. The Canadiana seems to have never been made in white and the Augusta III seems to have a newer style of canopy.  |

Yes the Hunter is an Augusta II, and the brushed nickel things are indeed Regency Professional Series. Seems they're not putting MX Excels in Subways anymore, just those Professional Series.

I LOVE the 4 Seasons 90cm 4-blade! Wish I could find one in the US. The only older 4-blade industrials I've ever seen here are NuTones.
In the 80s, there were some square fans sold here. They were PB, and had a square canopy, square housing, and blades/holders like those shown, with no vents. They were sold by Ernst and Pay'N'Pak, two local hardware chains, which called them "Futura" fans.

Something interesting that we don't see often. There are three Canarm High Performance 140 cm in the teacher's lounge in a high school in Saint-Polycarpe, QC. They were on a Canarm variable speed control with the reversing switch. This is the current version which looks more like an actual Canarm CP but with straight blades and a different lower canopy. The previous version was made in India. Between the lower canopy and the motor is a rubber piece to make it waterproof. It's not too common to see a straight blade fan with a well rounded motor.  |

Yeah, the super-round motor with straight blades combination is a bit uncommon. I like it!

the motor reminds me of gold wheel motor! love the fan! It uses the same motor as regular Canarm CP which is a very classic spinner motor in a disc shape and rounded bottom. It's pretty thick for a current motor. It's thicker than SMC motors. |

A clothing and footwear store in my area have a mixture of Canarm CP56 and newer Banvil Gold Line. I did not got pictures of the Canarms as I already many pictures of them. The store is very recent, it was open around 2007 so it can give you a good idea of the age of the fans. It's actually a chain store. There is another store like it even closer to me and it have the same Banvil Gold Lines. Dan should like this. He wanted to see some Banvil Gold Line in Quebec. It's just like the one you bought NIB a few years ago. The two pictures shows two different fans. All the fans in there were spinning at various medium speeds.   |

I love those Gold Lines, just like the eight in my church.
