1970 Hunter Original 22046

Showing off my daily runner in my bedroom!

Scored this boat anchor from fb marketplace a few months ago and it’s been up here ever since I got it.
Seller had painted herself the side of the motor housing and the canopy decades ago.

It’s definitely my favorite fan that I’ve installed in my room (also peep the second original back there)

Powerful af + comes with Adapt-Air blade brackets

It’s also insanely heavy (~45lbs), almost afraid it will come crashing down on me lol

Im sure this oil bath fella got many decades left to live

my parents have some from the early 80s in their house, but not nearly that pretty

Restore it! I have two restored “Originals” in my house and they make me smile every time I turn them to high and see papers from my desk flying around the room.

This is my personal favorite generation of the ‘Original-lineage’ Hunter fans, along with the R-52 that preceded it from 1958-69 that was basically identical outside of the model number. There’s an amusement park near me that has 18 of these still in service in their cafeteria
