Got a little surprise package from Clay at the front door today. Nothing particularly vintagey, but two Hunter models I certainly don't mind having; the Beacon Hill and Bayport. I do actually have the light kit for the Beacon Hill, I got it in a previous package so now I have the complete fan, other than the downrod which is no big deal. Other than said downrod, both fans have everything with them (including close mount accessories) and are still practically new.

Forgot to mention those don't seem to be the proper blades with the Beacon Hill. Not sure what swap went on there but I like these just as well.
And yes, they're both decent fans by today's standards. Those Bayports will blow your mind, they look tame but they can MOVE on high speed.

They definitely look nice! The Beacon Hill is still being made I think, but everyone should try and buy a Bayport before places run out of em for good. Hunter seems to be moving away from 4-blade traditional designs. The only 4-blade traditional designs still made are some of the 42", 44", and 48" Low Profiles. It probably won't be long before they're gone, too.

I'm glad you got a Bayport too. I wonder if I was a source of influence for getting one as I got one exactly a month and a half ago and also from Clay. It feels pretty cool to collect some models that have just been discontinued. We feel like we did a good move. I recently acquired a Casablanca Ventura and a Hunter Bayport, both of theses have been discontinued earlier this year. The Bayport is still made in white in 220V and exclusively in polished brass for India (220V) with a bell canopy. I know a site in Brazil that seems to be still selling some antique brass 120V Bayports. lojasviavento.com.br/prod,IDLoja,8755,IDProduto,1416200,ventiladores-de-teto-ventilador-de-teto-hunter-bayport-42- The Beacon Hill must be very recent to be in that finish. I like how Hunter offers a light oak finish on the other side of blades of their white fans rather than an ugly bleached oak finish. Do you have the age of both of them? Did you got them in their original boxes? My Bayport came in it's original box but was used just a little.

Do you have the age of both of them? Did you got them in their original boxes? My Bayport came in it's original box but was used just a little. I had no idea these were coming actually. He'd offered both in the past and I declined for the time being, but to be clear I didn't pay. I'm under obligation to reciprocate if I find something he wants though, and he knows I'll follow through. Yes I'm especially glad to have the Bayport now that it's done for. Same for my Venturas, very glad I got them while I easily could. The Beacon Hill is newer, it has the new logo. It's from 2011 by the looks of it, and the Bayport from 2009 I think. Both came in the Beacon Hill box, so no they're not really in the original packaging. That is fine by me though since neither is perfectly brand new. Plus this way I can keep both in the same box, I'm out of room so any combining that can be done is a plus.

I like Brightons too. Basically anything classic like these models would be something I like the look of.
