Here are the sightings for April. It's pretty full and some for all tastes.
First in a church in Varadero, Cuba many 132 cm polished brass GE vents with four cane blades. They look like CEC Newports. There is also some wall fans.
A closeup of one where the ceiling is lower with the cane damaged.
An irish pub in downtown Montréal has this nice antique brass Hunter Savoy and a Hampton Bay Tiffany fan.
An old not too renovated casse-croûte in the east of Montréal has two mid 1980's Canarm Grand Victorians with some of the parts painted in green. I don't like how they painted the blades without removing them from the brackets.
The other one:
Some more general views of the places. It's typically Montréal with the cool painting of the Olympic Stadium on the back wall. I love places like these. Only the telly reminds us that we are in the 2010's.
An asian restaurant in the Plateau area of Montréal has a cool mixture of three different fans. Near the front is this late 1990's, early 2000's Encon Industrial 90 cm painted in matte black. Originally it was white. I don't know what's up with the canopies though. Probably it replaced an older fan and they kept the upper canopy of the other fan.
Also at the front is this early 1980's Nadair 90 cm with unpainted blades and the rest of the fan painted in matte black. It's the first time I see one with unpainted blades. Theses Nadairs can be see with three different upper canopies. This is my least favorite of the three.
At the back is this antique brass early to mid 1980's Banvil ornate. I have the same in polished brass for sale with a shorter pole and in better condition. I don't know what happend to the other pull chain of this one.
A cool shabby style vegetarian restaurant in downtown Montréal has three fans. One Hampton Bay Altura 140 cm near the entrance.
Further at the back of the restaurant are these two glossy black Nadair Viento from the early 1990's. They have a lighted housing. This one was on low.
This very dusty one was on high. Notice the ceiling. Hehe!
A Tibetan restaurant in the Plateau area of Montréal has this rare early 1980's white TAT spinner 132 cm.
They used to have two of them but the other one was recently replaced by this Hampton Bay Littleton.
My favorite fans I saw during the whole month were these two white 4 Saisons Seville 90 cm from the early to mid 1980's with four metal curved blades in a cabane à sucre in Saint-Jérôme, Québec. This metal blade version is very rare. This place is the only place I know that has them. In my collection I have the wood blade version of this. They were both on low speed. Theses are installed in the reception room of the cabane à sucre but the dining room are have probably two more. Other than the first one that is missing the brass ring around the motor notice how they are still in very good condition.
No. 1
No. 2
The farm of that cabane à sucre has this cool but unknown vintage fan just like the ones I posted before in this thread in September 2013. I used to think they were some kind of rare Canarm but apparently they are HRS. Nadair is another possibility.
I went to the Fairmount Château Montebello in the Outaouais region. I haven't been to this amazing wood log hotel since 1998 or 1999. Unfortunately the four metal curved blade 90 cm spinner that was in the gift shop was removed. The amazing hall with the huge fireplace still has brown Canarm Industrials around it. Theses are only closeups of the fans that are nearly ten meters from the floor but if you like I can post general view of the amazing hall with the stone fireplace. I think they used to be mid to late 1980's versions and they were recently replaced with brown CP series. They are always on some fast low speeds.
Some of the conferences rooms have more brown Canarm CP56 on wooden vaulted ceilings. In the late 1990's theses rooms had brown three metal straight bladed Golden Fans.
Another one. They always look so cool in brown.
A very random early to mid 2000's (or older?) white Canarm 107 cm in a small booth in the parking lot of the hotel. One pull chain is cut very short.
The arcade room of the hotel has this 2000's Canarm CP36 with twisted blades on an older Nadair variable speed controller.
The Nadair controller. The knob is newer. This controller probably dates to the mid to late 1980's. We don't see them often.
The changing room for the swimming pool have this white Canarm CP56 on high. The speed controller was in reach, I played with it a little. Hehe!
A pizzeria in the Plateau area of Montréal have two of these white early 1990's Nadair Saturn with long brackets and oversized schoolhouse lights with red bulbs.
Some sort of abandoned clothing store in the village that seems to be reopening have four of these rare brown spinners with circles on the bottom of the motor. This is a very rare version. I almost never see them with curved blades and in brown. The more common white ones with straight blades are 4 Saisons but those I'm not sure. Probably ConTech from the mid to late 1980's.
Another one. They are all installed like this with the canopies in the ceiling.
