Yes, it's the most common fan in México. That would be a pretty early model from the 1970's but usually the ones with a blue line on the motor are newer. They are still made with very skinny blades, different canopies, only 140 cm and have a blue line on the motor.
It seems that the first fans Canarm have imported in the mid 1970's were these fans. Philippe have seen one in 90 cm before in Québec and someone else some in 140 cm in Ontario.
Is it rate 120 or 127 volts?

Cesar on Facebook just explained all this to me. Mine would be from 1972 or shortly after.
It's rated for 110/120.
Got pics of any?

Ah well if you know César Chicatto Garcia you must have seen the pictures he posted of them. He have or used to have about three of them. One from the 1970's, one another from 1997 and another one of 1998. He also made video of them.

What voltage is standard in México? 120vAC/60hz. MOST of America (North, South, Central) is 110-120vAC/60HZ. |

The naming for voltage in México is 127 volts but it seems perfectly compatible with here. It's in the south of the continent where the voltages varies a lot. For example Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela uses 120 volts-60 Hz but Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile uses 220 volts-50 Hz, Perú uses 220 volts-60 Hz and Brasil a mixture of 127 (120) and 220 volts at 60 Hz. North of Columbia it's just a few exceptions in the Antilles like the French and some Dutch overseas territories that would use something other than 120 volts-60 Hz. In the Atlantic Canada, Saint-Pierre et Miquelon uses 220 volts-50 Hz with rumors of possibly finding some 120 volts here and there. gosouthamerica.about.com/od/packing/a/Electricity-In-South-America-Outlets-And-Adapters.htm |

Here in the states, depending where you are the line voltage can be up to 125 volts. At my house, its around 122. I don't think 5 more volts would damage the appliances. |

That's exactly what I'm thinking and why it's not worth making a fuss about this. Where the voltage is higher than here a lot of appliances are rated 220-240 volts so I don't see why 120 would not be compatible with 127. |

When I do a Google search, it's about half and half between the websites claiming Mexico is 120v vs. 127v.
In the US, line voltage started out lower. Actually, it was original 90vDC and later became 110vAC. 110 is still the ideal operating voltage for a lot of lights and appliances, but it was increased to compensate for transmission voltage drop. These days it can range from 108v to 132v, but they shoot for ~118vAC.
Europe and a lot of other countries are 220v (the original 110, doubled). The advantages? Smaller wires can be used, less voltage drop, therefore, cheaper. Disadvantages? More dangerous. The US already had a grid built for 110 before light bulbs, etc that would work on 220 were invented, so going to a full 220 system wasnt really an option for the US. Most other countries did not.
My shop has line voltage of about 123vAC. I think I made a video testing it.
Most recent electrical/electronic devices should be fine within the 108v-132v range, but you will want to be careful with anything older that is rated for 110vAC and not 120vAC.

That is a valid point about the really old appliances like from the 1900s and earlier, which are only rated for 110 volts. Those I would be skeptical of running on 127, even here going 15 volts over what they're rated at isn't the best thing either.

If I recall, I think I've seen something similar to this on an 80s movie or something..
