I acquired this fan a month and a half ago for the very low price of 10$. It's my first 4 Saisons from the year 1985. Most of 4 Saisons dated of 1985 are often polished brass. It seems like it was their polished brass year. By 1986 that they changed their logo and used lighter parts.
It's made exactly like my other 4 Saisons Top Mount that is antique brass even though the antique brass one is from 1982 and this one from 1985, the parts didn't changed at all between those years. It's in very good physical condition but mechanically it does not perform as good as the antique brass one. The bearings one this one have what I call the ''train sound''. It was louder when I first got it and with the oil I put it's quieter. It's really not that annoying. Just like my other one this one is practically humless. Theses fans are very quiet in terms of hum, buzz or electrical sound and those are the most annoying ceiling fans noises for me.
The only thing that didn't came with it are the two tassels. I have a lot of extra never used genuine 4 Saisons tassels that I got from David. I recognize pretty easily 4 Saisons tassels over others ones. Not every tassels are made exactly the same. Like you can see they are very bright yellow when new. They seem to lose their brightness over the years.
Those fans are always very powerful and turns on RPM's but this one seems particularly fast. A little faster than my antique brass version.
Notice how I finally wrote the name in French and not in English. I always referred to this brand as 4 Saisons and not 4 Seasons. Orally: Quatre saisons. I guess I wanted to adapt for people that do not speak French at all so that they know exactly what it means. I remember in January 2009 when I got my first 4 Saisons, which was the antique brass Top Mount as a matter of fact, I was confused on how I should present the brand to the forum. I guess I thought they they will find it cool that it's like a Casablanca's model name but it much more natural for me to refer to it as 4 Saisons and it's better for not confusing it with the Casablanca model. The logo also shows 4 Saisons first and not 4 Seasons first.
I'm particularly proud of this video. It looks very nice. I figured out how to makes sure the images fills all the You Tube frame without losing the HD. You can view it in 720p. Enjoy!
Pictures coming very soon.
