For some reason i like those Hunters with the Original style switch housing. The variations of the Low Profile too.. Nice find.
How much was it?

I picked it up at a local thrift shop for $17.50 (50% off, was originally $35). It still has its original shipping label and list price of $88.88 (about $160 today). The white/brass ones don't seem to be as common as the others.

Nice find. I have two Mayfair 5-bladed models with the regular switch cup and later dual mount canopy and another model similar to it. The ones like yours are the real jems.

I actually have three mayfairs. One of them is the 5 blade variation (NIB) in bright brass dated 1990 (the box is dated 1989) and the other two are dated 1988 with the long tapered switch housings and 3-position canopies. The white/brass one is obvious and the other is antique brass. The image on the box is a bit misleading really, as it actually has a 3-position canopy instead of the older ball/socket mounting system.

I think there is a rare 6 blade version of this aswell. I found one back in 1989 in a abandoned house, i took it down got it home and i remember the motor hummed and would not turn the blades. the color was brass with dark red wood blades..

This is the first that I've heard of such a variation.

Well it was so long ago and i dont have pictures, as far as my memory serves me it was either this or the studio series or the Low profile on a down rod. The switch housing i remember was the same (Hunter Original Style)
