So this thing came into the ReStore last week, and I thought it would be somehow used, but I saw that the fan was completely New! I've never seen this fan before so I thought it would be worth buying. Was only 35$ Tad bit expensive, but I got it because.... NIB fan! There was a Wal-Mart Tag on the fan that said $67.88. Was this particular model sold at Wal-Mart? And for sure, here are the pictures! The Box:  The Contents:  The Tag: Made on April 1992  The Wal-Mart Tag I saw:  And the Beauty of Brass from Hunter Fans... Even the Screw has this oily colorful finish to them:   I hope you guys Enjoy! |

That is a really nice find. I honestly had no idea these even existed, I knew Walmart sold Hunter fans but the only other one I can think of is the Hunter Calais.

That's basically a Coastal Breeze (52" model) with a light kit packaged with it... yes if it had a Walmart tag, then it had to be sold at Walmart originally.

That's like the Hunter "Lancaster" I just got for my parents' bedroom... its a standard AB Hunter 5-blade 52" fan with a Regalia-style light kit with frosted-and-clear light shades, an LCD remote control kit, and a bonus 12" down rod (we didn't install it with that)... Hunter used to do that a lot back in the 90s and early 00s... another example is anything with the "Plus" name added to it (Low Profile Plus, Passport II Plus, Piedmont Plus, etc.), or the Alcove, which was a 42" Low Profile II with a similar light kit to what this fan has. They mainly sold em at Home Depot and Lowe's, as well as discount outlets like Target and Walmart.

Nice fan you have there. What year was it made? Mentioned above: April 1992 Actually.. no. The first digit in the date does not refer to the month, it's the quarter of the year in which the fan was manufactured. In this case, your fan was made between October and December of 1992. |

They did month codes between 1980 and 1986 with Originals, then quarters between 1986 and somewhere around 2001; that's about when they switched to the current week code (e.g. "42 06": meaning, 42nd week of 2006).

My Hunter Lancaster has printed 10 00 so I suppose it happened right around mid-2000 or so.
