I notice how people see Hunter Originals as if they are something that blows peoples' minds away.. Meanwhile I see these practically every time I go out fan hunting.. They are as common as a grain of dirt around here.. Late 70s models all the way into the 2000s.. I see them all the time.. in fact I see them so often, I forget I see them.. Both local Craigslist and the Habitats.. God I wish it was like that around where I live.. Honestly you're lucky. The same for here too. I don't like every versions though, only the ones from around the late 1980's, early 1990's just before they started to be 4/5.

If they are common in Canada then they are pretty common in most ares in the USA.. Same here.. I like the pre 4/5 also.. I already have quite a few Originals in my stash.. No need to have every color variation, version, or modification... And it's really not my interest to buy every one of them, even to put them on eBay, and lately I've been seeing them not sell on eBay at low prices..

In Québec they are very rare but in Ontario and Alberta they show up more often. I see a lot more Casablancas than anything else for higher quality US fans. In almost seven years of checking Kijiji, I have never seen one for sale of the generation I like here in Montréal.

Go months at a time without seeing one other than my own..

I see Originals almost every week. No pictures? Well, the Originals that I see almost every week, I already had a video of them on my previous channel. I may reupload it when it's time to reupload my old videos to bring back memories.

The import Originals have their issues. They're still a great fan, I'm not here to put them down, but they do have a design flaw that can negatively affect the oil bath operation and thus overall performance. I'm not saying this was the particular instance with your fan, some of them work fine, but the overall point is they're not perfect.
Originals DO NOT exist in the general region of Fargo-Moorhead. I've seen more FASCOs here than Originals now, which is saying something considering FASCO basically doesn't exist in the entire midwest. I've only found a couple Originals here over a decade of finding ceiling fans, not including the Lowes fans because they were an easy catch. Collectors in Texas and Florida are so spoiled with Originals it's not even funny.

When I was younger there was a patisserie near me that had two of what seem to be black four blade Hunter Originals and my local Jack Astor had the same fans in there too but those are all gone. Recently I found a home for sale on Rémax in my area that has a brown 1980's Hunter Original R&M installed in the kitchen. Here is it: ada19851985.proboards.com/thread/9459/real-estate-fans-houses-sale?page=3&scrollTo=108321Right now there is a black Hunter Original Archives for sale on Kijiji Montréal.
