The low profile was actually introduced in 1984, the earliest ones have massive 188mm spinner motors, isolation rings and are labeled Robbins & Myers. They were available in 52" and 42" sizes, not what you have listed.

Very nice for a hugger. If you want to kown the exact month it would be February as it says 2/87.

I do seem to recall getting one or two of the old ones in while I was at Habitat, and they indeed had isolation rings and presumably 188mm motors. I know they didn't have horseshoe brackets though. |

Anyone can provide a picture of this? and you're not talking about the Hunter Original Low Profile right? |

I have seen at least one example of a SUPER early LP (not Original) with the horseshoe brackets, think that one was a CL listing. Think I also saw a box showing one with those brackets on eBay at one point. Seeing as how they are extremely uncommon, it must have been only like a year at most they were like that.

There have been pictures of the horseshoe version on another site. I have never seen one in the wild, if anyone spots one, please get it.
Mine has the isolation ring and R&M label but the smily face brackets.

I'll just put there's an earlier version.. I know this one came around before the one's with the fat switch housing.. and that this version came around in late 85, early 86..
I updated the info, plus I took better pictures..

I've added a video
Now is this what you all are talking about, or at least close? It looks to have those long blade brackets similar to my floral hugger

I HIGHLY doubt that the blade irons on the second fan are original.
