These fans seem to be rather an enigma. I don't really know anyone who has these fans. They were made in the 1980s and to me they looked basically the same. I understand the Tequesta II
was likely a Florida-only model designed for Scotty's Hardware stores. Does anyone know if Hunter had other Scotty's exclusive models? When I was a kid the Hunters at Scotty's were mostly
your typical spinner motor Hunters you'd see in the brochure. I even have a 1997 Hunter and a 98 Vornado brochure I got there. They also sold Encons, which I really liked then (especially
the cute spinner models and the industrial).
The Subway here originally had those two aforementioned Hunters, in AB if IRC. They were from 1985 or so, when it was built. As of 2005 they were still there but in 2006 or so they remodeled
and got replaced with MX Excels, which are still there. I always wondered what the model of these was called, and once someone posted some pics from Disney's Magic Kingdom and there was
one there.
Several years ago in a thrift store I found a white version of this fan. I should have gotten it, but I didn't. I did get the model number, and actually called Hunter and they said it was a Tequesta II.
Doing a Google search I found a 1989 Scotty's ad with both of the fans in it. I don't really know what the difference was between a Studio Elite and Tequesta II though.
There seem to be a decent number of rarer Hunter models that were made with mixed parts. Different blade tips, light kits, etc. For example Hunter had Passport II and another model with a lightkit
called Passport II Plus. Then Lowe's exclusives like the Studio Series with 6 blades (actually saw one of those too at Habitat). And of course the Passport III which was popular at Home Depot
where Lowes got the Leighton which was basically the same motor but with wingtip blades and an opal light, in different finishes.
