Everyone enjoys this Scan.

Just makes me think of the Days when this Country Made Things that Lasted for Years.

I guess that's why we are all here.

Hunter really made some beautiful fans! Would love to have a pre 1950 hunter ceiling fans. One of the finest ever made. I've got a friend who has some in his home. Just super ceiling fans.

I've actually never encountered a hunter branded desk fan.

Some day I hope to have a set of ceiling fans like this in my home. Not Hunters/century but some R&Ms.

1890 was a great year!

Whoops in my last message, near the end I said "Some day I hope to have a set of ceiling fans like this in my home. Not Hunters/century but some R&Ms"

I think that came out wrong. I would love to have some HUNTERS as well as R&Ms in my home, but the picture below was stating, "not hunters/centiry, but some R&Ms". He had 2 of them in his living room.

And if you did not buy one in 1941, you probably had a hard time buying one until after the war. Just think of all the fine things American workers made in American factories with American-made components. These were the powerful sort of fans everyone knew about so they could laugh at the punchline, "Where were you when the sh*t hit the fan?" These fans could move air and probably the sh*t, too with the various motors, bearings and blades of steel construction. Nowadays it's the plastic foreign fans that are sh*t.

Vornado fans are still made here, last time I checked.

I am a fan of Westinghouse fans from the 50s and actually some of the air conditioners, too, but they are harder to find. I still think the 1957 Westinghouse air conditioner with the beige plastic sort of honeycomb grille is one of the most beautiful units ever made, along with the late 50s GE units with the three round louvers along the upper part of the grille. I remember the Mobilair (sp?) fans on wheeled stands at friends' houses that would blow a stream of air from one end of the house to the other with those deeply pitched blades. In 1961 or 62, our elementary school's PTA bought every classroom a Dominion fan on a wheeled stand but, unlike the WH fans, the body of the fan was maybe 7 inches front to back with no side louvers and they made so much noise on high that the teachers could not talk over them, but they were better than the nothing we had before when we baked in the still air of the classrooms through September and then from April until the first week or two in June.

mobilair fans

Yes, how I loved those fans! When I was little Mama used ours like a window fan at night, it really created a breeze.

Thanks for the scans!

IIRC, Emerson made the motors for Hunter fan products.

Love my Hunter fans

All cast iron all US made and going fine after 20 years use.
Ofcourse you also can't beat a Vornado too!
