Beautiful Fan! A local Burger King had four of them in a 52" span so this reminds me of them. So classy and classic!
Awesome Find!!

Awesome! I'm a little suprised they had this canopy as early as 1988. I have ther larger version of this with the same box design from 1991. On the box it shows the older canopy. I would like to find a smaller one like this with the dual pull chains.

White and bright brass is my favorite of these fans. This one reminds me of the ones I'd see as a kid as well. I love the classic Hunter look. The Summer Breeze is one of my favorite variations of it, especially in 42" Awesome! I'm a little suprised they had this canopy as early as 1988. I have ther larger version of this with the same box design from 1991. On the box it shows the older canopy. I would like to find a smaller one like this with the dual pull chains. Yeah I know right? I was surprised at that too. Especially since they always showed the old canopies in the catalogs. What finish is yours in? |

They were bright brass.
I can't eat at a BK ever again after getting food poisioning once from them as well as I feel horrendous after eating Burger King. But it does have some memories.
A local TGI Fridays had a ton of these in BB/PB and AB but they closed down. I tried to look to see if they were taken down but you can't tell from the front of the restaurant. They gutted the place to some extent but the skeletal pieces of the restaurant are still there.

Wow you did? That's never happened to me at BK yet at least. I actually quite like going there every now and then, not gonna lie. I've unfortunately never been to one with fans.
They had the 42" versions? That's awesome! Is there a different place moving in there or is it still closed? They probably did take them down based on what happens to fans in public places nowadays. They're disappearing.

It was awful, I went there after school my senior year with some friends. Lost 12 lbs in less than 2 days. Thankfully my girlfiend and my mom both got me back to health.
They had the 52" version but it was identical to your fan with the blade side and all. They are still open, they randomly overnight just started renovating the place now its a standard BK. I went to see if the fans were there but they are gone. Its weird, Passports are all over the place locally but Summer Breezes are somewhat rare in the 52" form. The 42"ers are more common actually. But they are dying out slowly...

That sounds torturous. I can see why you wouldn't eat there again.
I never minded the 52" versions. I like the 4 blade 52" versions better. The 42" I like in 4 and 5, although I prefer 4 still. No surprise they took them out they seem to always remove the fans whenever a place is renovated. The only places that don't usually take the fans out after renovation are bars. You're lucky, I don't have either of them anymore. Honestly I'll be lucky if I go anywhere local and actually see a fan of any kind. They're a rare siting where I live nowadays. That's interesting, I've seen more 52" Summer Breezes than 42"

That's an awesome fan! I like the 4 blade versions in 52" a lot better than the 5 blade ones. You don't see many that are in white and brass as well. What year is it from? |

I always liked the generic Hunter look, my favorite generic Hunter fan would have to be a Hunter Comfort Breeze Home Depot exclusive version. |

Beautiful piece! The pictures and the video both came out really nice.. Thanks! I used the same camera I was telling you about last weekend I think it was. I've had this fan for a while before I was able to take video of it, thankfully I was able to get enough time to do it. If you ever need a good 42" ceiling fan I'd highly recommend this one. It moves a really decent amount of air for being a 42" fan. |
