Nice sightings even thought I have seen most of them. Yes you told me what happened at the dépanneur international, that was crazy. Is this Subway at the corner of Beaubien and Papineau? And they seem pretty dirty. I have never seen this Westinghouse before so it must be fairly recently installed. Ah yes that Golden fan Electric, I am glad I live near there so I can keep an eye out for that. I have seen that likewise hugger but I never went inside, it has three pullchain, the current ones only have two now. Actually this is the first time I post photos of any of these fans. Yes, that's correct, this is the Subway at Papineau and Beaubien. The fans are indeed pretty dusty. I like how so many Subways still have their older fans even though they were renovated in the 2010's. That Westinghouse was probably installed about five to ten years ago I would imagine. Yes the Likewise has three pull chains.

I just went past this dry cleaner, and the place is for rent so I’ll keep and eye out for this fan and it is just a few streets away from me in case they remove it. Here is my photo from January

Here are the sightings of February, the firsts of 2022. Mostly fans at friend's houses. White 1986-1987 4 Saisons Classic II 132 cm Westinghouse Turbo Swirl 76 cm A rather uncommon SMC semi-spinner 107 cm sold at Sears around 1998-2004. A white unknown semi-spinner 107 cm from 1988. I believe it's made by Air Cool. It could be a Canarm Breeze but I'm not sure. I did not saw any name on it and I think Canarm Breezes have actual vents on the bottom. This one has false vents. I'm thinking they are probably the model that was sold at Distributions aux consommateurs. Anyone know for sure? Another one like it but in white and polished brass with stencil blades. These look very nice in this finish combination! I remember seeing a lot of them as a child especially in this finish. A local IGA grocery store replaced the two Banvil Bronze Lines it had in the lobby for these new Canarm CP56 with DC motors and contoured blades. I like how the motor still has the same classic thick and rounded motor but I wish they kept the curved blades. The photo of one of the former Banvil Bronze Line can be found on page 22 of this thread. The fans in the rest of the store remains unchanged, they still have the same Banvil Bronze Lines that were installed around 2002-2003. In March, I revisited the five antique brass Canarm Grand Builders located in a local Subway restaurant originally posted on page 45 of this thread. They are still there in good condition spinning on low as usual. It's nice to see five ceiling fans installed in such a small restaurant. Enjoy and comment!

Thank you for sharing your sightings.
I believe that the Canarm Breeze lookalike is actually from a store called Brico Centre which was owned by Beaver Lumber at the time.
I thought Sears stopped selling most of their SMC fans after 2002. I didn't see any fans in the 2003-2004 catalogues when I was a child. It's possible that they were only advertised in the Flyers. I even asked someone who was selling the catalogues if they were any ceiling fans and even the seller didn't find any of them in the pages.

I have seen the 1988 flyer of Brico Centre you posted in the Vintage Ceiling Fan group on Facebook and yes it does look like these two four bladed semi-spinners are fans that would have come from there especially the all white one. What would be the brand of these fans? Decorator's Choice? It seems the availability of products between the French and English language Sears catalogs were not always the same. Like I commented in many of your posts, I often notice models that were different from the catalogs available in Québec for the same year. In Québec, the catalogs showed SMC's ceiling fans till 2004. 2005 and 2006 did not have any ceiling fans and 2007 and 2008 had Hunter ceiling fans. From what I remember the last year Sears had a ceiling fan display was 2005. They never displayed their Hunter fans although they could be ordered in their catalogs in 2007 and 2008.

Here are the sightings for April: A beautiful antique brass Casablanca Commodore Vanderbilt. For some reason it's missing the hatch. This fan was supposedly installed in 2018 but I believe the Commodore Vanderbilt was discontinued in 2008 or 2009. I guess they were able to find an old stock or bought it years in advance from the time they planned on using it. Perhaps it was originally indented for an other project that did not worked and then a few years later they were able to find another installation for a different project. I'm guessing an early 1990's Nadair Designer 132 cm but I'm not too sure here. A contemporary Westinghouse Industrial 140 cm with the blades installed upside down. I often see these with the blades on the wrong side. A good old classic Canarm CP56 140 cm. What seems to be a Westinghouse Exterior with the light kit removed. One of the bracket is bent down. The finish is galvanized steel and the blades are ABS. These are pretty uncommon. They were sold at Réno-Dépôt around 2002-2004. Here's a revisit and much better photo of an Emerson 150 cm with plastic blades I took a photo of while it was spinning in Feb 2012. Ten years later it's still there and now I was able to photograph it when it was off. I originally though it was the model Loft but it turns out to be a Heat Fan. In May I revisited some of the Canarms installed at a local IGA grocery store that was renovated around 2005-2006. That's when the fans were installed. It's the IGA that has this strange setup of two CP56 in the lobby and four CP36 in the main section of the store that I originally posted in July 2009. Here are the four CP36. They are always on high speed. Enjoy!

Is the Casablanca Commodore Vanderbilt installed in a bar in old Montreal? I saw this fan a couple times from outside. Only 2018? I feel like it has been installed a long time ago.

Yes I believe it's the same place. It's installed in a bar that opened for the first time in 2018. Before, that location was a small boutique that did not seemed to have this fan installed there. I don't remember ever seeing this fan installed there before that bar opened.

Here are the sightings taken in June. They were all taken in Montréal. Two Nadair Industrials 140 cm from the 2000's. A cool installation of what seems to be three Nadair from the late 1980's. A large one with lower canopy and two small ones without lower canopy. The large one is the same model as the one I posted on page 50 of this thread. It seems to have a motor made by MEC using the same blades seen on some Banvil Bronze Lines. One of it's blade is a little bit bent down. The two 90 cm Nadairs without lower canopies. Enjoy!

I have a fan hobby, like most of us on here. In other words, I am just your average fan collector.

I thought those small industrials were golden fans due to the shape of the motor

I thought those small industrials were golden fans due to the shape of the motor It's possible but I'm pretty sure I saw them associated with the Nadair brand. Aren't they all made by View Fan?

Here are the rest of the sightings for 2022. July: I revisited the Banvil Bronze Lines installed in a grocery store in Montmagny. I posted one on page 46 of this thread back in 2015 that had it's blades tips curled to make it fit between steel beams. I did not saw this one this time, it seems they removed it. These ceiling fans were taken in two different churches along the historic route 132 in the region of Chaudière-Appalaches: Four 1970's SMC 60F 140 cm with one Banvil Bronze Line replacement. The Banvil Bronze Line uses the SMC canopy. The second church has what seems to be three 1979 4 Saisons 140 cm with three metal curved blades. They were on a fast low speed. In August, four polished brass Nadair Heritage 132 cm from the mid to late 1980's in a pub in Montréal. They are in very good condition for their age! Here's three of them: October: Three of these unknown 132 cm fans in a restaurant in Montréal. They have a rare two tone finish of polished brass on the blade arms, switch housing and the ornate parts on the housing while the rest of the housing, extension pole and canopy are satin brass. Very elegant. I don't know if the blade finish is original. Anybody know more about these? I revisited the eleven Hunter Augusta III installed in a boot store posted in this thread in 2019 on page 64. They are always on low speed. It's such a cool sight! A recently opened café in the Village of Montréal has two Hampton Bay Industrials 150 cm. This location did not had fans before 2022. It's always nice to see new installations. In a different restaurant in Montréal four of these Kendal / Monte Carlo Studio 137 cm along with some metal wall fans. It's difficult to tell if the finish is Kendal's natural iron or Monte Carlo's matte black. In November, I revisited these Kichler Monarch 178 cm that I posted about in 2019 on page 65 of this thread when they were newly installed in the atrium of a bar in the Village of Montréal. Enjoy!
