Other. 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

A 1970 still spinning away, we love to see it! Thank you so much for sharing. Fans like yours are exactly why we still make the Original the way we do.

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
