A Boston's I've been to had Originals running on high reverse.  Great pictures Jean, I like what I see.  Yes, those Fanimations are HUGE. I've seen a few in person, when they just came out and every business HAD to have one. YES! You got the Panama! Now you can experience the wonderful silentness of a brand new stack motor. You'll never be able to sleep with any other fan again.  |

Nice fans! Casablanca's medium oak, which I have, is very light, and their light oak and maple is even lighter. I didn't get a chance to go around Toronto much. When I went around 5 years ago, we only stayed a day and went to the falls on the way home.

You'll never be able to sleep with any other fan again. Noooo I also love my direct drives! C'mon my Craftmade Decorative is dead quiet, my top mount fan is extremely quiet too and the lot of oil I put in my restored chunky PB GE vent quiet it down so much. BTW I just put back my Four Seasons Venair Top Mount while I get the Panama. Like I have more fans and very few places to hang them I like to do a rotation.  Can't wait to have it! Its 'supposed' to be sometimes during the starting week. They said 10 days so it should come on September 3rd. Let's see if it can't beat the Craftmade in terms of quietness. How can it be quieter than dead quiet.  ? ;D LOLZ Anyone read what I rote about the weird bottom mount spinner I saw in a restaurant? (I will draw it so you can visualize it better) Anything to say about that builder mount sooooooooo close of the wall and the fact that it did not moves any air and it was on high downdraft? |

The showroom is really nice. I also like the white/cane fan. Thanks for the pictures! Yeah it was a really nice one, I should have got more pics. Here some more special ones they had :They had all the Emerson Industrial(48'', 56'' and 60'') in all finishes(including the new brushed nickel ones) They had a brass Hunter 1886 Series with a beautiful tiffany light kit. They had the Emerson Maui Bay showed with those large bent wood blades. Those huge ugly Monte Carlo too. A black Panama with sail cloth blades. They had what seemed to be a Hunter Low Profile II 42'' left.(you can see that one in the background pic of the white Hunter Original Classic.) I'm surprised you like the white/brass 5 cane fan. I looks pretty cheap IMO. |

I've never seen an 1886 with a light kit. I know it can be done.

Here are the vintage Four Seasons Venair Industrial 56'' at my local Jean Coutou Pharmacy. They are 6 of them all ivory in very good condition. They use them regularly but they always stay this clean. They seems to take good care of them. They are two row of 3 and each row is controlled by a variable speed control. When I went one row was on low and the other off. On the rear row two of them does not work. I know because last time they turned the rear row only one cammed on. Nothing seems wrong with them, it must be loose wires. This place have been renovated and they did not even removed the fans. One of the one from the front row that was on low. Notice: fluorescent lights helps to see the blades. The was no flash use here and was spinning at about 70RPM. In my house with incandescent light even on low no flash I can't see the blades like if it was on high.  The middle one of the rear row that does not work(you can see the Four Seasons sticker with the swirl logo.)  The only one of the rear row that still works(was off this time)  They are display this: (*=fan) *..................*(does not work) *..................*(does not work) *..................* I'm still so impressed that they never removed them, not only that two on 6 does not work but the place have been renovated so many times. Most of the time its pretty much like I went today, they rarely use them on high speeds and rarely use the rear row. But I already saw them on full speed and no need to ask they are indeed very powerful and blow a crazy amount of air like all Four Seasons Venair I cammed across. |

Nice fans! They are in pristine condition! Maybe they could fix those that don't work?

I LIKE these!
And I agree, you should enquire about the broken ones.
I wish Walgreens or CVS had fans!

I LOVE them. Weird, but different blades, and you've almost got the same fans that were in that hardware store I posted about. The canopies and motor look very similar to them.
Yes, ask about the non working ones!

This is the ONLY Jean Coutu Pharmacy store I have ever seen with ceiling fans in and luckily is so close by. Not to disappoint any of you but I don't particularly like them but of course I would not mind having them either. It does not seems to bother them that two does not work and I don't think they will take them down any soon. The only Industrials I really like are the ones with curved blades. If they are an Industrial that I'm watching right now its definitely the white 36'' 4 curved bladed one I saw in that little hardware store near me. Like I remembered seeing another four curved bladed fan there back in the late 1990s, I'm thinking about asking if they still have it stored somewhere. Perhaps. Why not? And I could also ask about the white 36'' one still there if they are thinking about taking it down any soon. But last time I went it was spinning which show that they are not ready to get rid of it. By the way I went back to this little abandoned shop that I remembered seeing some white 36'' 4 curved bladed Industrials that is actually located just NEXT to the pharmacy that I took the pics of those above and I finally got really close of the abandoned building. Its abandoned since 2006 or 2007 and it look like it abandoned since at least 10 years or more! Like its a 1970s building it remind me of the buildings in Prypiat. No kidding!  Its covered with graffiti, all the windows are barricaded with plywood and vegetation have grown all around it. Beside the front doors that are barricaded there only one back door and I pull the handle and no luck its locked. On the front there some holes in the plywood and I've been able to see INSIDE it! The inside is really messed up, the dropped ceiling is all fallen and I even saw a hole in the roof. I saw nothing that looked like a ceiling fan.  There was one particular spot that I clearly remembered seeing a fan install there and there was nothing. I did not saw them lying on the floor either. Even the walls for the other back rooms are all falling apart. Its only the outside brick structure that still looks OK. The place is for sale so you can be sure that the next peoples that will buy it will have a LOT of work to do. |

Yes, those Fanimations are HUGE. I've seen a few in person, when they just came out and every business HAD to have one. 
? ;D LOLZ
