I am so jealous! That is so cool and I love them in this finish. I don't think I've seen those swivel mounts before, that's rather a neat idea.

I think I remember seeing black ones with teak blades once on Flickr, but I never knew they made them this late. I seem to remember in a catalog I had that is long gone (had to be 1986 or 87 at the latest) that by that point it was the Hacienda II, and if I remember correctly they were also only offering teak and plain white blades only. I also never remember a black one in the catalog, or even a brown one although they still used pictures of brown fans on their light kit page. Maybe my catalog was from '88, who knows.

Hmm, if you have a '86-87 Catalog that shows the Hacienda II (which I never even knew existed) then my fan must be one of the very last Haciendas made. So I guess in '86-87 NuTone started using stack motors on most of their fans besides the Verandah Deluxe to compete with Casablanca then.

So I guess in '86-87 NuTone started using stack motors on most of their fans besides the Verandah Deluxe to compete with Casablanca then. I'm going solely by what I remember it saying. I cut the catalog up when I was in the 7th grade (20 years ago) to use the illustrations on a project I did. |

Regaardless I still think 1987 is one of the last years NuTone made the original Hacienda.

Very nice even though I don't particularly like Nutones. I love the blade finish especially on a matte black fan. It's a beautiful combination. Remember that matte black Casablanca Ventura I posted recently?
I wish the bottom vents were true vents on it.
It seems the finish is very dark brown and not purely black.
I like how it precise on the box what type of fan it is. ''Housing with direct drive motor''

Yeah I remember your Ventura, the blades on your fan could be a little darker, but that's just me. The fan is true black, it's probably just the light making it dark brown.  |

That, the teak plain, and the cherry (which had pointed tips) are IMO the 'proper' matches for a black Hacienda. A local chain of fast-(sea)food restaurants called Skipper's had these in the 80s, black with I forget which blades and no light - each restaurant had one fan, directly over the door.
The only NuTone catalog I have which pictures these is 1981 (along with the Verandah II, Sea Island, Slimline, and the four-blade industrials) and the Haciendas have actual vents. It's an awesome find!

It's an awesome find! It was called the Verandah II in 1981? I do remember it being that in 1987... I always assumed it was after they changed it to a swivel canopy and 3 speeds. Then when it went to a more conventional looking fan in the 1990's they kept it the Verandah II. I would agree, cherry on black anything is a good match. I sure would like to see more of those pointed tip blades resurface, I've seen like three pictures of them total. |
