Just picked up 3 hunter origins, two brown and one brown with a brass face plate. Missing one set of blades, an upper canopy and a switch cap. All were bought around 1970 some time and were only used for 7 years, then The owner mover with them and never reinstalled them. Sat in his closet for years until he decided to sell them on Craigslist. Going to test them this week and fix up what I can and post video and pics once I'm on my computer at home.

Did you get a good deal? My favorite finish is brown with the brass bottom plate, can't wait to see them!

All 3 for only 85$ and there won't be pics till tomorrow since I won't be home or with wifi till then. I'll be testing them on Monday and Tuesday most likely as well as looking for spare parts to make them all complete sets. (Parts I need for the fans, a set of brown blades with brown brackets, a brown switch cap, and a brass upper canopy if they made them, if not a brown one will do as well and I'm sure more but I won't know till I start testing them)Also not sure on the date since online its says 22272 was made around 1980 but the owner said he got them mid 1970s so I'll be looking more into that as well. I also got the original bottle he had for their oil and it still has a good amount in it thought the bottle is blank now probably due to the age of it. Not sure if I'm gona use the oil in it or buy new stuff for these fans. Either way it seems the guy took great care of these fans when he used them. Just hope siting in his closet for some 20 or so years didn't do to much to them

That's a pretty good deal! As far as the brass canopy goes I think the brown/brass fans had brown canopies. I'd suggest using new fresh oil for them. That's good that he had the old oil though, the bearings are probaby in good condition if they were always ran with oil. That's really the only thing that damages these fans is lack of lubrication. I don't think sitting in the closet would have done any damage to them, unless they got wet or the closet was really damp.

I'd like to see a nice big globe on that brown/brass one! Unfortunately I have absolutely no spare parts whatsoever for Originals...but Dan would probably be a good person to contact for parts.
