Airworks fans are rebranded SMC. I'm not sure if it was called the New Yorker under the SMC brand Hope it helps ! Wow this is very cool! I honestly had no idea this model existed under Airworks name. This certainly does help sense I'm trying to find a spinner ceiling fan just like that SMC model (4 or 5 blades doesn't matter to me). Thank you very much! There's another similar SMC spinner I found that was similar to this. Only differences are this one has 4 blades instead of 5 and the blade arms/irons have a different design. Attachment DeletedThe only thing I'm curious about is, does the New Yorker have the vents on the motor like this one above does?

Yes I do too. Do you like it better with 4 or 5 blades?

Yes I do too. Do you like it better with 4 or 5 blades? Its hard for me to imagine exactly what it would look like with 5 blades,, on some fans it makes a huge difference.. I like it with the 4, but I'm thinking 5 may fit its more modern styling better..

Yes the Super New Yorker has vents and yes it's a spinner. Sears sold it around 2000-2004.

55th, 1996 ENCON Industrial One of the blades was hit by the previous owner, and was repared but the fan wobbled terribly. So I didn't kept it. First picture with the original downrod, the second one I took a small downrod I had 56th, 1992 NADAIR 57th, 2006 CANARM Florence 100% complete, perfect condition 58th, NADAIR. From the early 1980's, and maybe from the late 70's. Heaviest fan I got at the restore. Quite strange, the fan itself had 2 pull chains, one for the fan (Forward, Reverse, Off) the other one was for a light kit, but the light kit had a pull chain. Fan came with a solid state speed controler, And i'm still not sure if i'll keep it or not. I'm not sure if the lighting display will hold this fan... 59th, NADAIR, from the early 80's. The first fan to be put for sale with stencil facing down (actually the plain side was damaged by paint) 60th, 1988 CANARM In perfect condition, I actually fot the fan, and a 2 small matching fixtures. So i assume that the fan was over the dinning table, and the fixtures in the kitchen I also got this box With a sticker underneath with the date of the fan, from 2001 And I spotted a fan while watching tv The "fixer Upper" show

And I spotted a fan while watching tv The "fixer Upper" show Fixer Upper is based in Waco... I've seen Fascos, Originals, a couple of 6-blade Tyebs, and even an antique GE fall to the hands of the remodelers. I've been in contact with a person or two from Magnolia about trying to get some of the fans taken down in the remodels. I explained that I take Originals, fix them up and get them back into homes. Haven't heard back from them beyond their requesting samples of what I do with the fans. The Original is the only fan I noticed in that episode, but in the background it looks like the guy has a blade to another fan in his hand.

Very cool fans!
The Encon could have been useful for a project for me.
The GE vent Nadair is very cute.
That vintage Nadair is the hugger version of the brass Nadair GE vent I have. It's got the same motor with the same pull chain configuration. That's how most of made in Hong Kong fans were at first. They did not had speeds. They were meant to be wall controlled. The blades this one comes with are very nice! It's not as common to see them with a full 132 cm size. My GE vent model is indeed very heavy. It's close to 12 kilos with blades! Very cool fan, definitely keep it.
I love the light on the 1988 Canarm.

This is just sad, I don't understand why they don't want to give you the fans if they are going to trash them...

The ReStore has been mentioned at least once on the show. Of course, I won't go in there, as the fan section went about the way I expected it to after I left.

The Encon industrial looks really cheap
The 58th Nadair is really cool! Looks like a cast motor.. The light kit must not have been original to the fan.. I'd say 70s or very early 80s on that based on the style of the cane..
I really like the 59th Nadair also.. The stencil and those light shades look great together.. Is it 36"?
Canarm #60 looks weird to me, it has an odd blend of traditional and modern type styling..
Too bad you didn't get the fan for the white Canarm box.. I like 30" downrod fans..
A lot of quality vintage fans go to waste due to renovation projects,, its a shame people usually don't realize they were better until its too late..

Well JW, if they take them to habitat it's not that bad And yes I can imagine how it is now...
Jordan, the encon was very - very cheap. For the Nadair Hugger, i'm not sure about the light kit. Of course it's not original to the model, but I think i was bought in the same time as the fan
the stencil Nadair was 36", yes
Actually for number 60, the light kit is not original to the model. They choosed the fan, then the light kit, then the light shade. Almost like any custom ceiling fan (casablanca/emerson/fanimation) you make your own fan
