Nice industrials Andrew! The first one is my favorite, are you going to do any restoration work to it?

Very cool finds.
The first one has the same blades as on Cheveron fans. They are pretty cool looking blades for being straight. I hope you will repaint it. It would look awesome in glossy dark brown. The configuration of the lower canopy sounds similar to the one on my brown Evergo four metal curved blade fan.
Banvil Gold Lines are elegant in black. I still prefer them in brown though. How old is this one?
Very cool find with this Banvil Orange Line. So now we officially know that they are Orange Line and not Red Lines. Judging by the code it seems to be from 1985. They are pretty common in Québec except that they usually have a little ring plate on the bottom. This one is perfectly plain and flat on the bottom?

Where do the Orange Line fans fall in level of quality (compared to a Goldline, Silverline etc.)?

Have we determined that Cheveron is an actual manufacturer and not just a re-label? I'm definitely going to repaint it, probably white; it has a little bit of rust here and there, so I'll probably strip it bare. Banvil Gold Lines are elegant in black. I still prefer them in brown though. How old is this one? This one is essentially brand-new, manufactured 2013. Now I just need to buff out (or touch up) the scuffs on the bottom of the motor.

They are pretty common in Québec except that they usually have a little ring plate on the bottom. This one is perfectly plain and flat on the bottom? Does the "Red Line" even exist? Dan mentioned the same thing about a bearing plate on the bottom of the motor.. mine's completely flat. Where do the Orange Line fans fall in level of quality (compared to a Goldline, Silverline etc.)? The Orange Line uses a stamped-steel motor, instead of the cast-iron of the Gold Line. As for performance, the Orange Line performs identically to my brown Leslie Locke (think: brown 56" 1st gen. Gold Line): The blades have the same downward slope and steeper pitch compared to a 2nd gen. Gold Line. The Orange Line runs at about the same RPM as the Leslie Locke/1st gen. Gold Line.. and thus, it runs noticeably slower than my 2nd gen. Gold Line of the same vintage (1985).

Orangeline = Silverline predecessor.

Orangeline = Silverline predecessor. Maybe not, as these are 1985, and there are Silver Lines that predate 1985.

Andrew,
Chevron is a brand that some fans in Australia were sold by. Some similar fans as Chevron can be see branded as ABC except that they have regular curved blades and no nut.
Now that I see a Banvil sticker that says Orange Line for the second time I don't think the Red Line name existed.
I used to think that the Orange Line was like a pre Platinum Line. The Orange Line would be an equivalent quality to a Gold Line, it's just another variation of motor shape. It would be the second time I see one with a plain motor but I still see them much more often with the ring on the bottom. The plain motor ones might have been sold more in this US.

Interesting information. I'd say the "red line" doesn't exist either.

Someone has seen a Red Line, and someone has seen a Green Line. I wish the people at Envirofan cared enough to remember, I asked them before.

Backlog... Commander Key Largo/Saff motor, pulled from a habitat scrap dumpster. Hunter spotlight kit attached to the Key Largo/Saff thing. What the hell is this? It looks like the bastard child of a Hunter Stratford and a Park Lane. I have finally stumbled across another one of those queer variable-speed Evergo things.. and this one is new-in-box. Yes, apparently they were also available in 52"... But wait, THERE'S MOARRR... The clean one is cast-iron and undated, the painted one is cast-aluminum and dated April 1982. Abandon-fresh! I have FINALLY found a normal Fasco Charleston. Dated November 1989.

That Saff looks weird having those mixed matched parts, probably something Habitat did to try and make a complete fan..
Love the Commander Angel
And those Evergos, I've only seen in 52".. I've got 2 of those NIB.. Both are in white.. Love the fact it's dark brown..
