It's never too late. 2014 was a Golden Fan year in sightings for me. A little part of 2013 too. Almost every time I updated this thread this year they was some Golden Fans.

Here are my last sightings for the year 2014. Two beautiful polished brass 1980's Banvil ornate 132 cm fans on long poles in a bistro in Westmount, QC. I don't think I've ever seen such Banvil victorian style fans this chunky with four blades. It looks like an older, chunkier, four blade version of the Banvil Imperial. I'm guessing they are from the mid 1980's. They are ball and socket mounted but are chunky and have wide cane blades with the square corners. Notice how the brackets do not have bars. Fan no. 1 Fan no. 2 Lastly this surprise install that I really didn't expect. A titanium Westinghouse Mach One 132 cm in a shopping mall in Montréal installed on a very tall ceiling in an entrance of the mall near the escalators. I almost missed it because it's pretty far up and it has a lot of beams and light fixtures in the way hiding it. It's also why the picture is blurry. It was difficult to get a clear view of it without anything in the way. The area where it's installed looks very recently renovated and the fan probably too new to be pre 2002 so it's has to be a Westinghouse and not an Encon. I don't know if they will ever use it. It's a pretty nowhere install especially considering it's not a commercial fan. I hope you liked the sightings for 2014. To review the year from the beginning, it's started with the red painted fans on top of page 36.

I like that Banvil, although I wish it had a bell canopy.

Those Banvil fans have very strange blades, I haven't seen many that have square ends by the motor. The fan in the mall sounds like a pointless install.
I enjoyed all the sightings for 2014, hope to see even more in 2015!

I enjoyed all the sightings for 2014, hope to see even more in 2015! It's a style of blades that look better on their spinners fans but they used it on some housing fans in the mid 1980's. Yes it's pretty much pointless because normally this fan is remote controlled and I don't see who would keep the remote to control it because there is no employee working near that entrance. I like it though, it's a cool unexpected install.

Nice sightings to finish off 2014! I'd say the Banvil Imperials are more early-80's with those brackets. Also, Monte Carlo had a named the "Mach One" that looked identical to the Westinghouse Mach One! Maybe there was some connection between the two companies?

I was thinking the Banvils would be from around 1985-1986 because I have seen many wood blade Banvil from 1984 with bell canopies and I don't know if they had both type of mountings at the same time. Yes there is a little connexion between Westinghouse and Monte Carlo. When Encon disappeared around 2001, most of their models were bought by Westinghouse and a few by Monte Carlo. That's how post 2001, Westinghouse and Monte Carlo sometimes had the same models or very similar models with the same canopies and finishes. The Mach One was originally introduced by Encon in 1999. The 97 cm Mach Two is unique to Monte Carlo though. I've never seen it by Encon.

I like it though, it's a cool unexpected install. I've seen it on spinners before, but never on a regular fan like this. Depending on exactly how high up it is, the remote may not even have enough range to control the fan anyways. I agree about the install.

The blades on those victorian fans are funky, yet cool, with their round arched tips and square ends where they mount to the blade arms. The housings remind me of Encon Georgian housings. Nice sightings!

Nice sightings! I knew there is something a little special about the housing. It does look like that but thicker. Thanks.

That's a good point about the bell canopy. They could be from 1985, however that seems a little bit too late given the blades. Yes there is a little connection between Westinghouse and Monte Carlo. When Encon disappeared around 2001, most of their models were bought by Westinghouse and a few by Monte Carlo. That's how post 2001, Westinghouse and Monte Carlo sometimes had the same models or very similar models with the same canopies and finishes. The Mach One was originally introduced by Encon in 1999. The 97 cm Mach Two is unique to Monte Carlo though. I've never seen it by Encon. Thanks for the information! That make a lot of sense, as Monte Carlo offered various models that appeared quite Encon-like.
