Hunter Original "Robbins Myers" Model 22450

  Hello,

   As a fan collector I have always wanted a Hunter original. I dont have an endless budget and ran across someone selling one for around $20. I was very excited but saw "Robbins Myers" on the tag on the side. Is this still a Hunter Original? What would a fan like this be worth?

   I have included a photo of the side below.

Thanks!

Yeah, it's a Hunter Original. It was just made during the time Hunter was owned by Robbins and Myers. Back then they were usually called Old Tyme ceiling fans. R&M sold Hunter to a group of investors in 1984, and that's when they changed the tag to just "Hunter." Nice find!

Thank you for your reply and info!

Do you know if I could get better blades for it? They are wicker and I don’t really like them. Also how much do you think it is worth?

Thanks

They're worth a few hundred dollars. You can get different blades, the cane (wicker) ones are often sought-after by collectors. You could probably find a buyer for them relatively easily.
