Jamie Horner Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 Hey Russ, Any chance you have much larger scanned images of those Hunter Fan pages (344-345)? Quote

You should be able to download the whole catalogue or save a page at a time... https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nnc2.ark:/13960/s2199m6cnp7&seq=348 Zoom on the site works pretty well too. 1 Quote

Sorry, been absent from the website for a while until now. I see Jeff has it all under control. 🙂 I can't even remember where I sourced that book, I think Archive.org. Quote
Steve Rockwell Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 (edited) If you go to 253 Broadway Manhattan, you find..... the corner of Broadway and Murray St.... 1912 Directory listing. If offices were in Postal Telegraph Building (253 Broadway), I'd think it would be listed as such... Edited October 16, 2024 by Steve Rockwell Quote

Geoff Dunaway Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 I know you can't count on total accuracy from Catalog art, but it looks like Hunter latched onto GE technology for their fan line just as GE was abandoning it and moving on to better (maybe) and newer technology. Quote
Edward Kowalke Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 I always thought GE and Hunter collaborated for the Hunter badged fans due to the similarities. This 12" continuous? oscillator has local history. It came out of Loker's Department store basement here on 8th st in Holland. I bought it at the ex-wives garage sale around the corner from my house. That was about 20 years ago. Price paid $75. Some of you probably think that was too much for a garage sale, I don't and have never regretted the purchase. These early Hunter fans are uncommon. All I have done is clean out the old grease, lubricate, install a power cord and rubber feet. 1 Quote
Michael Rathberger Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Anyone know if the brush motors are GE or diehl? Quote

Russ Huber Posted October 16, 2024 Author Posted October 16, 2024 (edited) The transition from Tuerk Water Meter to Hunter Fan & Motor Co. took place it appears in spring of 96. Tuerk/Hunter was outsourcing GE motors for the Tuerk CFs from the start in 96 it appears. The bond with the General Electric appears to have started right off the bat with the formation of Hunter Fan & Motor. Later in the early 20th century Hunter Fan & Motor made some kind of deal with the General Electric to expand their fan motor line beyond ceiling fans marketing rebadged GE desk fan components. I would imagine both the General Electric and Hunter benefited with addition fan motor sales. Hunter would not have to tool up to supply their own desk fan motor line. Just how that evolved down the road would take more homework. E. B. Latham was Hunter's eastern agency from day one in 96. Edited October 16, 2024 by Russ Huber Quote

I was having a senior moment or was just plain dense. Flew right over the top of my head that I posted an image of one above. 🙂 Absolutely no doubt Diehl product. Back in 96 Tuerk/Hunter offered option of alternating or direct current ceiling fans. They were outsourcing their AC motors from GE. Were they outsourcing their DC motors? Diehl? Maybe Tuerk patented a DC motor? I would have to scan. Anyone have an early Hunter/Tuerk CF with a DC motor? Quote
Michael Rathberger Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 (edited) Them diehl motors got around. Railcar fan I got from Rick Hill... Edited October 16, 2024 by Michael Rathberger Quote
Russ Huber Posted October 16, 2024 Author Posted October 16, 2024 I have a thick book loaded with old railway images and pullman car interiors Steve Cunningham sent me. If one knew how many of those fans got chucked over time it would make you sick. Those ornate Diehl motors are quality built inside and out with no shortage of iron. 🙂 Quote
