Four Seasons Venair? NOPE! Gulf Coast, maybe a dixie belle. Notice this thread is not placed in ''Please Identify This Fan'' I 100% know what brand is it. It have two genuine Four Seasons Venair stickers on it saying Montréal, Canada. I don't even know what looks older Gulf Coast. Note: Still not a long time ago I toughed that Four Seasons Venair was a relabeled brand but I realized that it was actually a pretty independent brand. All stickers are marked Montréal, Canada. It was THE local brand back in the days and they truly made awesome fans. Notice its not an random Asian relabeled brand, its was real North American company using quality Taiwanese made parts just like a lot of other American companies did in the 1980s....until Canarm purchase them in 86'. Damn you Canarm, damn you!   A lot of companies back then that used Asian made parts ended choosing similar and SAME parts. That's why a lot of Asian made fans can look a lot like another brand. Its just a coincidence in most cases. It even happened with American brands like Calcutta/Trade Winds/Old Jacksonville, Fasco/Thomas and the fact that Casablanca used Emerson's motors. |

This is pretty much the only pic of it I can post for the moment. I have big technicals problems with my computer theses days so the rest is going to have to wait. That was taken AFTER bending back the brackets. My first real 52'' fan! A little too large for my room. It runs extremely quiet like a brand new out of the box fan so as quiet as my Craftmade. It moves a ton of air, especially for a 5 bladed. Weights about 13-14Lbs without the blades. RPM's about: 65/135/220.  Hopefully more to come soon.  |

It's not a relabeled Gulf Coast as it has the dual Canadian pullchains. I am assuming that our Seasons Venair was also made by Synlix like Gulf Coast. heck, they could have been associated with a Canadian subsidary of Gulf Coast. Perrey would know.
I like it!

Thanks for mentioning that Dan. Everybody else don't seem to care about the Four Seasons Venair brand name, they just think that its relabeled brand but not that I own 3 of theses I realize that a lot of vintage fans I saw in the past were made by Four Seasons so I know they made a lot of different fans and not just 2 or 3 different models but quiet a lot. All of my 3 Four Seasons does not says Synlix nor Gulf Coast anywhere on them. If they were too dependent from another brand it would not have said Montreal, Canada on their stickers. Hey c'mon they even made some RARE and unusual designs like some four curved bladed Industrial and a top mount 5 bladed spinner.(BTW its still on Kijiji!) At least I'm glad we had a company making good quality and nice looking ceiling fans back in the days and it was right here in Montréal. |

A 52" for a small bedroom will move quite a lot of air, mainly because the fan moves much of it in such a small space. But, I like having a 52" in a small bedroom..it makes the room look nicer.

Yeah, I don't ever pay attention the the fan size. I have 52" in the bedrooms of my house all the time. I have 56" in mine right now, and I still don't think it's too big.

Right now the problem with my computer is that there too many pics on it so its overload so I already started emptied it with a USB key but I still CAN'T upload vids and its still a little too overload. I'm not sure when exactly but soon my sister is gonna come over and help me with my vids and computer. I'm not really an expert with computers.  I made a video of this fan showing the fan from all angels and the video explains everything you have to know about it but I can't upload it yet. I know some of you don't care about vids and prefer just plain boring pics but for me its important to do vids of them because next year I'm going to study in video making and cinema so later that sorta gonna be my job. So these little videos are practicing me for the serious of next year where my homeworks will mainly be to DO videos. What I wanted to do for every next fans I get is just do ONE quality video(with Windows Movie Maker) and post NO pics so the only way you could see the fan is by viewing the video. If I'm able to upload any videos any soon that's what I will do. I have already TOO MANY ceiling fans pics on my computer. I have 5GO of ceiling fans pics on my computer!  Videos weight more but at least you get to see and know everything in ONE link. In the video of this fan I made I already explained this but like I can't upload it I will tell you right away as its for important safety reasons: This fan uses a very unusual type of downrod. The downrod is actually 6'' long and not 4'' but you can also use it to make it shorter at 5'' and 4''. Right now its at 4'' like it show on the pic up there. Just like my Top Mount fan this one did not cammed with a pin going through the downrod but my Top Mount fan uses a normal 4'' downrod. What was really holding the Top Mount fan was a little screw that you tight AGAINST the downrod! Yeah I know its not safe at all. So I added a pin in this one. This 5 bladed one is also held but a screw but on this one the screw goes half way THROUGH the downrod. There two holes where the screws can goes into. One for 4'' long and the other for 5'' long. There also another bigger hole at the top where you can put a real pin but that's when you want to have the downrod 6'' long which is way too long for a 8.5' ceiling. I tried it with a real pin but it made the fan very loose and of course its was way too close to me. So is my fan safe with that screw going half way through the downrod?? That really how it cammed from the factory so I guess they toughed about that as my Top Mount fan did not had a pin either. If the video was there I would not have to explain all that.  |
