Some Ceiling Fan Sightings

[Matt B.]

I usually am not the type who does ceiling fan sightings, but since another fan collector and I were hanging out today fan hunting I'd thought I'd share some pics of the ceiling fans we saw.

First set of fans are from a large flea market here in town:

Most of the ceiling fans installed are these Banvil/Envirofan Silverlines. Most of them have been repainted. There are hundreds of these fans there.



One of the few unpainted ones.



I'm not sure if these would classify as ceiling fans or not, but there are also a bunch of these Dayton Circulators



In 2 of the food courts in the building, there are 9 AB Fasco Great Rooms installed in them, 2 in one, 7 in another. We only got pics of 8 of them.



This fan was off for some reason, the rest run on low.













Design House, I think there were a few around.



Pair of GEVs



AB Builder Vent fan. there were 5 or 6 installed in that area.



Poor old Encon Casanova Deluxe with a broken off blade. (Yes it was still running)



Evergo Bananafan:





There was this WEIRD Key Largo looking fan, it my not be noticeable, but this fan does have stencil blades.





This flea market has a VAST variety of fans installed throughout, we are not able to get pics of them all, mainly because some were in areas that were not accessible to us.

In a thrift store there are about 30 of these Dayton/Leading Edge Industrial fans installed. They usually are running, but they were off today.



And while we were in Menards today, we came across this ceiling medallion with a couple of cool fans on it.



One of them is an Evergo GEV, and another is a 38" AB Fasco Parlour Fan with a set of 52" cane blades.

Lots of neat fans! I love the Banana Fan and the Key Largo looking thing. LOL I've cut those pics out of the sheet on the couple medallions I've bought at Menards, I love that they haven't updated the pictures to something modern. The FASCO always looked strangely like copper to me

[Deleted]

that key largo is actually a jet king,i saw one on florida craigslist once before

WANT the Bananafan. Never seen an all brass one that I recall.

LOVE a lot of other fans including the Great Rooms, the Key Whatevergo, and the Design House.

I bought one of those medallions YEARS ago just for the Fasco picture.

[John "Rockin" Reed]

I remember seeing medallions with those pictures on them back in the day.


Also, I love the 6B Design House and the Fasco Great Rooms.

[Farah]

Nice pictures of the fans! I really like the ge vent fans.

[Matt B.]

Got some more for ya from Vacation down in Gulf Shores, Al. I was wanting to drop by Southern Accents on the way back, but we passed Cullman after they closed for the day.

At our hotel there were 3 of these Harbor Breeze Baja fans, sorry I got only the top of one, I was never able to get a clear shot of one from below.



In a Navy Aircraft Museum, there was this small Craftmade Max Air in one of the exhibits. It was in this 1940s themed general store. I'm pretty sure it was spray bombed to match better. This is the only fan in the Museum.



In a lighthouse museum there was this Hunter Northshore in one of the rooms, there was another one in a different room.



In the gift shop there ware 2 Hunter Castleton fans. Both running and were wobbling.



Last pair of fans were 2 of these Harbor Breeze Crosswind fans in another room in the lighthouse.



At a Habitat ReStore in Pensacola FL (where I got my 1st gen Charleston) most of the fans there were incomplete, mostly just motors:



The only other "whole fan" in the store besides my Fasco was this poor beat up Shi Chen spinner:



That's all for now.

those palm fans in the hotel are harbor breeze bajas. the harbor breeze fans in the lighthouse are the crosswinds.

[Matt B.]

Thanks, will update my post.

I want those Nutone motors.

I LOVE that Spinner!

With my job I'm going around to do some service electrical work to multiple residences across town. So I'll try to take pictures of the fans inside them If I'm able to. I'm sorry for the picture quality, I took them all with my iPod.

First house I went to was a '60s,'70s ranch that was on a large wooded plot of land with a lake, has a detached garage with a 2nd floor, 2 gazebos, 2 barns, 2+ sheds, and 2 Sunrooms. The decor inside is straight out of the 80s-90s. The house would be really nice but it needs some work. The owners don't live there, they plan to sell it eventually.

In the kitchen there is this Hunter Westminister?



In the family room is this Codep? wood housing fan:



In the first sunroom is this Harbor Breeze Aristocrat. We had to take the fan down temporarily to install a box since it was just mounted directly to the beam.



In the living room is this CEI hugger. This fan wasn't getting power from anywhere so we had to run a new branch circuit to it. Also there was only 2 orange THHN Wires going to it instead of romex.



In the master bedroom is this Harbor Breeze New Orleans, I found the box for this fan in one of the barns which had an old GEV in it, looked like It had a cast iron motor in it.



In another bedroom is on older Harbor Breeze:



and finally in the 2nd sunroom is another Harbor Breeze:



The property had 4 more fans which I was never able to get pictures of, 3 of them are Harbor Breeze outdoor fans in the gazebos, the other is a GEV fan in the 2nd floor of the garage.

Another Property I went to was an old house built in 1896. It has mostly generic huggers in the bedrooms and one of those Kmart fans in the office. The only fan I got a picture of is a Fasco American Spirit in the Kitchen.

The first house is cool and the American Spirit looks great!

[fancollector12]

The first fan is a Westminster

[Jean Lemieux]

Wow! Lots of cool fans! A lot of theses pictures are very good quality and would be great to have in the galleries.

That is a LOT of fans in that one flea market.

The Silver Lines don't look bad painted in ivory.

The Evergo Original copy is very cool in all brass and I don't think I ever saw one in that finish either.

I love the older Craftmade Max Air. Very cute.

The Shi Chen spinner is very interesting. Theses have been seen under the brand Sunbeam if I'm correct.

Cool job you do at theses houses!

[Matt B.]

Finally got to work in a house with some fans in it, very nice place built in the 80s-90s. Easily a $300,000+ Estate. There is only 4 fans in the house surprisingly. All Sea Gull Lighting fans.

Park Avenue Elite fan Located in the Family Room.



And there are Quality Max fans in 3 of the 4 bedrooms. 2 of them flushmounted, one on a downrod. Otherwise they are all identical.
