Here is the other Quatre Saisons with four metal curved blades I got last month with the metal canopies. It's just like the one I got this past August except it has metal canopies. They were two for sale, the other one went to Philippe. One was very scratched up with bent blades but works very well and the other one has only little scratches and perfect blades but has loud bearings. I took the scratched up one since I already have one in good physical condition but with stiff bearings. It's also a good excuse to have one is a color other than ivory. I started to repaint mine. Here was the disaster on the bottom of the motor.  Philippe noticed something interesting when he came over a few weeks ago. He noticed that the one that I'm keeping has a longer lower canopy. I haven't noticed it until he pointed it out. Mine has a 10 cm canopy not counting the tip. His is 8 cm.  |

Here is the finish product. The blades turned out to be very difficult to paint. I guess the fact that the old paint on the blades was such in bad condition that it contributed to the paint not sticking well and making bubbles even though I sand them. I tried so many different positions to paint them and make them dry. I used the same paint as on this fan. It's called Kona Brown. Not only I love it, it has a touch of red in it but also I had leftovers from the Evergo I got four years ago. The paint does look bumpy at some places because of how badly scratched was the fan before painting. The paint was not just very scratched on the blades but also they were bent so the fan is still a little wobbly at the second lowest speed although it's much better than it was before. This one is in very good mechanical condition so it has a long spin down time and a much faster low speed than the other one with plastic canopies that is still a little stiff. Pictures very soon. Enjoy! |

Thanks. I'm glad you both like it even though there is a lot of imperfections on the texture of the paint. This colour is indeed gorgeous for metal blade vintage spinners.
Did anyone noticed something about the logo on the lower canopy?

Oh wow that passes for original to the fan too? The logo we see is the actual Quatre Saisons logo but it's not a real one in the sense that it's a picture of a real logo printed in colour. I did not wrote anything about it because I wanted to see if people would say something about it. |

I have been posting Quatre Saisons fans for a while, actually my first vintage fan was one so I thought someone might have noticed something. I love the way the orange looks on the brown. I'm glad the logo looks genuine and not too big on the lower canopy. |
