Sooooo.. does anyone have any real, good info on the Red and Orange Lines? Well that is real info. They are some Orange Line called Heavy Duty Orange Line with the same orange and black sticker. They can have this flat Taiwanese motor or a Hong Kong motor depending of the age. What is confusing is that the sticker they have on the top of the motor is red but they are still called Orange Line. It seems they have never been any Red Line. Some have the big orange sticker on the lower canopy, some don't. It's the same thing for Gold Lines, not all of them have the sticker on the lower canopy. Most of older Banvils around here don't have stickers on the lower canopy. There was an Orange Line on Kijiji in Laval not so long ago. If it gets relisted, I might buy it. Here's a picture of one I saw back in October 2011. ada19851985.proboards.com/thread/2967/jeans-ceiling-fans-sightings?page=18There's also a dépanneur near me that have two identical to the one in that picture that I would like to get pictures of.

Humm wow beautiful churches along the fleuve Saint-Laurent. The detailing in these churches is amazing. The first fans are not recent at all. They are old SMC's from the mid 1960's to mid 1970's like we saw in Vieux-Montréal last September painted in blue. The canopies and the thickness of the motor is how we can tell their age. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=1664&c=36The second fans are some Banvil Orange Line from the early to mid 1980's. It seems they were both Red Line and Orange Line made. They are common in Quebec. A lot more than Gold Lines. The Red Line I have seen don't have this bright orange sticker on the lower canopy and the line on the motor seems more red. I might be totally wrong on this though as they are too similar. The ones I've seen definitely did not have a big orange sticker on the lower canopy. Theses particular ones you saw are a rare version as they have a circular piece in the middle. They usually don't have this. Both are very cool sightings is awesome churches. You did not saw any fans in Quebec City? Good to know about those SMC! Québec churches have great fans in there along the old 138 route. Looks like I've saw some cool fans each time I entered a church along that road. We were not at québec city that much long so I didnot saw fans out there. We walked outside much more than going in store.

I've also seen an Orange Line with the same motor as the current 36" Gold Lines (but 56"). It appears they just attached whatever sticker and model number to whatever motors they were importing at the time, and didnt care about the variations. Only Gold Lines remained consistent, and even then, there were at least 4 different motor variations.
All Gold Lines have, or had, stickers on the lower canopy. Some may have come off with age.

Whoa! In what part of the Jardin botantique have you seen this? Is this in the long greenhouses that we can walk freely across?
I'm not really good with the brand of these ugly giant fans. They look much better with five blades than the ones with many blades.

The last time was in March 2010 and they did not had theses fans installed yet. The welcome hall always had a few Canarm CP56 though. Do you remember when you took theses pictures.

This is a 3 blades 4 Seasons 120cm I've seen in the beginning of summer 2013 in ST Laurent cégep in Montréal. I'm pretty sure Jean already posted pics of it. Don't ask why, blades are upside down. There is two of this fan in the whole building but I've only picture this one in 2 different angles. They are located in the staircase. notice the logo on the lower canopy
