Hi! Its been a while since i made a thread, now since 2015 is ending soon lets summarize our progress with how it went with ceiling fan collection!
I am mostly on facebook posting in ceiling fans group so i dont get much time to post in forums due to what i am going though in my personal life and its hard to keep up with informative and long fan threads.. and photobucket mobile app is getting terrible lately.. but as a summary, here it goes:
I got 56 NIB ceiling fans from the scrapyard, more than 400 unused blade sets, roughly 500 downrods, roughly 100 canopy sets, almost 200 regulators, some spare motor cases and more than 500 unused capacitors! Most of them were orient, there were some other brands such as USHA, Jet, Supreme and so on.. some fans dated back to 1991 and most of them were in late 90s early 2000s.. this might be a stock clearance from the warehouse which they wanted to get rid of, there were more than all this but there was another buyer who bought some before i arrive.. for the rest i placed a higher bid and bought almost all the remaining
I also got a huge amount of relite fans (airmasters) and its blades, that were apparently taken off from a school that was to be demolished or renovated, 35 relites dated 1983 and 49 spare blade sets.. all were found in the scrapyard
I went to Kuwait and found a used furniture market known as "friday market" where old ceiling fans can be found! Each is sold for roughly 3 to 5 dinars ($10 to $18 roughly) i managed to find a socket type 1940s USHA ceiling fan and some really old pakistani fans, due to my limit i bought only 5 and shipped them to dubai! This market is a real treasure for fan collectors you really dont want to miss out
I got roughly 200 fans this year alone, i dont know the exact amount, but i am amazed by this achievement! But i am seriously out of space lol
So far, this year has been the best year in fan collecting, and as of that, i decided to publish a video almost every week while i can
