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.. Thanks. The Sanyos and the orbit Hatari is what suprised me the most. Seeing more of these unknown Indians fans was pretty revealing too. The 4 Saisons version of those fans almost always have curved blades. I've only seen one in person with (3) flat blades so far. It had a flat canopy and was 90 cm across. A local bank also used to have two 120 cm four flat metal blade versions. This could count as other ones with flat blades. The three cruved metal blade models are the same as their four blade equivalent. Even though it may sound funny, theses in the middle size are more common with four blades than three blades. That was the only 120 cm three metal curved blade model I've seen in person so far. Here's the more common four metal curved blade model in the same middle size (120 cm). www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=1095&c=34Four flat metal blade model also 120 cm. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=875&c=34In the largest size they are much more common with three blades though but in general I would say they are more common with four blades than three blades here. In the smallest size (90 cm) with curved blades, I've only seen them with four blades here.

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 Bravo! With 248 fans for last year you don't need to worry about getting too much for this year. Many of them would need some repairs and cleaning that it would keep you busy just taking care of the ones you already have. I'm not saying to pass up on something particulary cool and rare though. I hope you can do something with the four blade Winner and I would love to see the four blade Polar installed.
