More goodies.. Came home with these from the Delray habitat: These Moss Heirlooom/CECs are popping up like hot cakes. There was another one of these and a SMC GE vent Five blade, and the mouting and canopies where installed on the wrong fans on the two I left.. SMC had a real short downrod making me think that the downrod was on the Evergo. I may go back and the the others. Another five blade Evergo. My Favorite.. White Fasco Charleston Went to the Stuart Habitat and saw this Hunter thingy.. Can't think of the name right off of my scattered brain right now. It's missing the whole top and mounting.. I didn't get it because of that..

The Hunter is the 1886 Series. Nice finds!

Love what you got, again I wish I could find just any one of those fans.
Shame about that 1886 missing stuff, that would've been a nice grab had it been complete.

Thanks Cole! and fancollector... I can't believe how heavy the housing is on that Hunter.. Must be made out of cast iron.. I'm very surprised that little made in Taiwan spinner motor can handle spinning all that plus the blades..
The first year I saw one of these was in either 1985 or 86.. I was in a Builders Square when I remember seeing their gigantic roof of ceiling fans and lights..

Yes the 1886 used a modified cast-iron Original housing and a modified mounting system from an Original. They came in wooden crates back when they first came out, and were essentially made to celebrate Hunter's 100th Anniversary back in 1986, originally a "Limited Edition" but then Hunter decided to make them a regular production model.

With that 1886 you could probably order a replacement mounting system for it since Hunter still sells the fan. I don't think the top of the housing is missing, below is a link to a picture similar to the one you found with an "open top" if you will. I personally think they look better the other way. Nice finds! img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/8/3/9/9/0/3/webimg/711178051_tp.jpg

It would make sense that the newer, non American-made ones are open-top

Hmm, I wasn't sure about the top.. So it'd be missing, what looks to be like a lower canopy, downrod, upper canopy and mounting.. It was only $15, probably even lower if I go back on a day when the manager isn't there and get it for $5..

At those prices it'd probably be worth grabbing regardless. I'd grab it at that price.

I have some fans lying around that I probably will never find original parts for.. I told the one manager their that you have alot of incomplete fans lying around, either the blades are missing or you have the motor missing the blades, There's been a time where I walked around the back and found a motor in the scrap bin, and as I was walking back inside, the guy is putting blades for it on the shelf (The wicker Key Largo).. There's an idiot there who thinks all blades go with anything, so he scraps one part and puts the other out.. Needles to say the manager is going to put a stop to that, and start hanging them from long chains complete again..

I decided to go back and get the rest. Interesting how that SMC doesn't have the typical sideband.
