They look almost the same.. But if I were to see one somewhere installed with no labels on it, I would be able to tell if it's New Fan or Golden Fan..

I see well the difference. The Golden Fans have two ''lines''. It has two angled sides. The New Fan motor is more straight and simple.
Did you noticed a difference in the bearing quality? Does the New Fans have better bearings than the Golden Fans?

That's good that you can tell.. Bearings are about the same on either.. One other thing I've noticed New Fans have arched tip blades, where as Golden Fan, I've always seen square end..

Yes, I never seen a wood blade New Fan that I recall that had something other than arch blade tip. It seems they also almost always have the leaf crown badges. The New Fans seen in Canada trend to be more often nutless than nutted. For Golden Fans I've seen a lot of different types of badges and I've seen regular well pointed tipped blades and square tipped blades. Since this is relevant to the topic of this thread, I just refound this picture of a beautiful all brass vintage fan of what I believe to be one of those rare Enredco. They use the same motor as either Golden Fans or New Fans, I don't know yet of which in particular though. They differ from Golden Fans and New Fans by the type of nut they have. They use a much bigger nut. They seem to always have square tipped blades with the leaf crown badges. This one doesn't have cane but they more commonly have cane on their blades. The cane might have been installed facing up. I had lost this picture and I finally just found it again. www.flickr.com/photos/401forester/68479800/in/faves-29890248@N08/It was taken in November 2005 in Peterborough, Ontario in a motel that unfortunately was destroyed and converted into a Pharmaprix drug store in 2010. They were at least two because we can see a better view of the room they were installed in on this picture and there's another one like it: www.flickr.com/photos/401forester/68477630/in/faves-29890248@N08/ |

Wow, I bet it's a Golden Fan.. Those reaf badges aren't suppose to come off of the blade, nor is the bracket that attaches to the fan motor, they are mounted through the blade with permanent screws.. As you can see in this picture:  both factories look like they shared their badges, because I've seen the same badges on either or, and some just on New Fans or Golden Fans |
