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.

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.
