I can tell you that I will not get the Casablanca Avalon fan. Why would I bother which something out of my tastes? I don't throw myself on every fan because it's Casablanca. I have to like it for that. Fair enough. We all have our own individual tastes. Hein? That's odd reasoning. 4/5 blade Hunter Originals are the fans that look odd installed with four blades because the brackets are placed weirdly near the switch housing. On most of other fans, like flywheel fans, they don't have that glitch so we would never know that they came with five blades in total. It's just that you have been brainwashed by the photos of companies that constantly only show them with five blade that it seems unthinkable for you to have them installed with four blades because that's how they are always presented. Since Hunter Originals are quite traditional, they look great with both four and five blades. Casablanca Panamas and other, slightly more modern fans look better with five blades (to me, at least). I don't remember seeing the green and brass Canarm Mystic sold after 1999. Canarm began the wide-usage of reversing switches in 2000. Plus, I've worked with a green and brass Mystic dated 2003. Yes, the SMC Grand Legacy was sold at Sears. Do you remember it in the catalog around 2000-2002? I never owned a Sears catalog, sadly. The last fan seems to have a too chunky switch housing to be related to Westinghouse or something recent. The shape of the switch cap is indeed reminiscent to what was found on older fans, however the screws are all white (a feature that began surfacing in the late 90's).

I didn't know you were into sailcloth blade fans. I only like plain and classic Casablancas excluding the Lady Delta.
Wow! I think the last time I saw a green Canarm Mystic for sale was in 1999 or 2000 at latest. It's by 2004 that a lot of Canarms adopted the reversing switch.
Ah that's odd. Here we used to receive Sears catalogs regularly.
Everything is white on that spinner. It looks like it was painted.

I'd get the Avalon because I think they're cool, but they are also profitable fans

That's peculiar Green and polished brass (or directly quoting Canarm "Hunter Green And Polished Brass") must not have been as popular in Quebec. I've seen Canarms dating back to 2000 that included reverse switches. Ah that's odd. Here we used to receive Sears catalogs regularly. It's more a matter of where my family went to shop. For home improvement, Home Depot was typically the main choice. Everything is white on that spinner. It looks like it was painted. That's definitely possible. Still, the motor seems small for a vintage fan.

Dark green was popular here in the mid to late 1990's.
For how long has their been Home depot in British Columbia? The first one I've been to in Québec was in 2002.

No wonder Hampton Bay fans aren't particularly common in Québec. From what I've heard, Home Depot came here in 1997. In Ontario, however, it could have been as early as 1996.

Well that is a good thing that it arrived late. I believe in Terre-Neuve it's even later than that.

With very few exceptions, I don't like most of Hampton Bays. There have been many cheap fans sold under the Hampton Bay brand over the years, however certainly nothing worse than Canarm's economy models. As a general rule, I've found the best quality Hampton Bay fans sold today cost over $150.00.

The rare Hampton Bays models I like are the Southwind, the Windward and that K56 model they had even though it came with a ball and socket canopy.

How old is that Westinghouse Speldor?
The picture of that NIB spinner is ridiculous
Love the SMC F-60
I want that all brass SMC Promo
That's an interesting light on that Nadair Heritage.. Never seen one like that before.. at least not on a ceiling fan..
Promo and Victorian are both gorgeous!
