Use this thread to post about your fan-related accomplishments for 2013!
As far as for my accomplishments:
-Purchased a Hampton Bay Genoa Hugger off of eBay -Purchased a Broan/Alaska GEV off of Craigslist -Acquired three Emerson fans from the 90s (42" Traditional Snugger and two 52" Northwinds) -Bought a Hampton Bay Middleton from Home Depot -Purchased a Sanyo 56" Industrial -Reorganized my ceiling fans in my basement -Finished replacing the fans in a vacation home (This project was started in 2008, then replaced another fan in 2011, then another fan in 2012, and finally, this past summer, I replaced the final fan to be replaced) -Fixed my parents' Hunter Stratford's speed control pull chain after the fan was not working for two or three years.

Like 2012, 2013 was a very good year for sightings with lots of cool fans, some I didin't even knew about. For the fans I bought for myself I would say it's the Golden Fan year. I didin't had any Golden Fan before that year and I found two just that year. Here are my acquisions for 2013: The year started very well with my first polished brass 4 Saisons. I was looking for a polished brass Galaxy 120 cm for some time and I found one in very good conditon in January. In April this NIB Golden Fan. Also in April, another polished brass 4 Saisons, this one for free. It's was my first fan smaller than 90 cm. In August, the second Golden Fan. This was my 4th fan with four metal blades. In December just a four days before Christmas, a very good way to end the year! A second polished brass Casablanca Zephyr but this time found locally for a very low price in my favorite version with a Slumber Quiet system that works very well! It could not really have been better. This fan hang in my bedroom since mid January.

i thought i replied in this thread before but it turned out i didnt!
2013 is a memorable year for my fan collection! i got around 248 fans in 2013 itself, mostly from the scrapyard, i also got all the fans from a building that was awaiting demolition and some fans from an old neighborhood sceduled to be removed!
some memorable fans i got this year were:
70s SMC K56 with heavy cast motors green TMT blue winner union shaped SMC, they were also proven not to be a K or KN model which i suspected for a long time wooden bladed CKCs 4-bladed winner ABC with a pointed tip USHA kohinoor weatherite TATs (suspected to be) .. and many others!!
i also made a good amount of bladss for the fans, ranging from standard straight blades to curved blades and wooden blades!
this year will probably be slower than last year since i started my job and it wont be easy to follow up with discarded fans or scrap

Jean defiantly has some cool ones, and the sightings also contain some neat odd fans.. I've never seen a Commander type of fan like that with curved blades in person.. I think I like these better with curved tipped blades..
