Types Of
Ceiling Fans Of My Interest:
Ceiling fans from
the 1970s and 1980s. Spinner ceiling fans with a switch housing and lower canopy. Most
early day standard type ceiling fans (GE Vents). Pre 1986 five blade ceiling
fans. Industrial ceiling fans with a switch housing. Industrial ceiling fans
with a switch housing and lower canopy. Any early S.M.C. Laguna, late 1970s to mid
1980s, don't care for the latest models. I also collect anything unusual prior
to the 1990s.
Types Of Ceiling Fans That Are Not Of My Interest:
Anything manufactured today not including the Hunter Original, some Tat ceiling fans, and Dayton
industrials.
Do I Collect Ceiling Fans? Yes Why?
The same reason people collect objects, such as old bottles, dirt
from different parts of the earth, coins, money, antiques, and who knows what
else. It's a hobby.
Why Do I Have A Ceiling Fan Website?
To join all
ceiling fan collectors from around the world to one place. Also to take
a look back on the history on household and industrial ceiling fans and
how much ceiling fans have changed since the 1970s.
Ceiling Fans From The 1970s to the mid 1980s:
An American fan called "Casablanca Fan Company" was the start of
household ceiling fans back in the 1970s. Of course the era when imported
companies became big. By the mid 1980s 50% of households in America had ceiling
fans installed. The 1980s was the best decade, for a lot of things such as,
Ceiling Fans, Electronics, Vehicles, Video Game Systems, and of course who
can't forget the music of that decade, New Wave, Pop, Rock, Heavy Metal, Hi
Energy, Rap, House (Late 1980s). Don't forget the movies with great
soundtracks. The 1980s was the beginning of a lot of things such as,
styles of clothing, the beginning of different formats and styles of music that
are still in production today. Products prior to the 1990s were made to last,
and if broken, were to be repaired, unlike today products are made out of very
cheap material such as plastic and tuna can metal and costs the same to
purchase, and if broken, meant to be thrown away. Ceiling fans today are much
different, as the styles changed, which now people now go for. A lot of ceiling
fans today are made to look like something other than a ceiling fan, for
instance, UFO, Flying Saucer or Fern Plant, just to name a few examples. Normal
imported ceiling fans today are junk, made out of very cheap material, and you
will be lucky to get a few years use out of them before the bearings seize up or
the motors go on them.
There are still a few companies that manufacture high quality ceiling fans, such as Casablanca, Hunter
and a few others, but today's styles and designs. We all know times were much
different from back in the 1970s and 1980s.
