Rare Crompton Sutlej Fan FALLS Into European Closet! 😱🪭 | Vintage Ceiling Fan Drop Test

🏭 Crompton Parkinson Sutlej Fan – A Rare Vintage Beauty This is a Crompton Parkinson “Sutlej” ceiling fan, a true vintage masterpiece from the golden era of Indian fan manufacturing. The nameplate proudly says “Bombay, India”, which means this fan was made before Bombay officially became Mumbai (1995) — most likely in the 1960s–70s. The word “Sutlej” comes from the Sutlej River, one of the five historic rivers of Punjab. Crompton Parkinson often named their fans after Indian rivers (Sutlej, Kaveri, Ganga) as a tribute to India’s rich heritage. This gave each fan model a unique identity, rather than just a technical number. --- ⚙️ Technical Details & Craftsmanship Size: 48-inch sweep Model: CBID type (heavy-duty capacitor start motor) Voltage: 220/230V, 50Hz – perfectly suited for Indian households Build: Full cast-iron motor housing with enamel-coated winding Finish: Classic deep brown (often called “coffee brown”) with thick metal blades These fans were known for their rock-solid construction, whisper-smooth bearings, and long-lasting performance.
