Can someone provide me with some information about this little Hunter ceiling fan.  It is a type 1032.  This is a little 32" fan with aluminum blades.  Just perfect for a bathroom or closet.  I am particularly interested in know the approximate manufacture date for these little guys.

I have one of these also Robert.  I have not been able to find any info on it.  I have it torn down for a redo.  I would also like to know the appropriate globe for it.  Perhaps some of our CF experts can enlighten us.

Tom, here is the globe I was considering for this fan.  It is really small as you can see compared to the light bulb next to it.

That's a nice globe Robert.  I picked up one at a yard sale that I think is old, but not sure it's appropriate.  I'll post a pic tomorrow.

I have zero Hunter Fan Catalogs. In matters Hunter I have to defer to John Andrews. I'd guess 1940-1975 vintage. The R&M catalogs call for a 9" shade from that era.

I had no idea they were that new.  The globe I posted the picture of is about 8" in diameter.  Hey, Tom.  I have another milkglass globe that is about 8" in diameter if you decide you need an alternative to the one you have.  It is different from the one I posted and probably more appropriate, as well.

From what I can see on the tag, it was probably made sometime between the 30s and 1945.

Robert,  supposedly around 46 Hunter moved from Fulton, New York to Memphis Tenn.  Then around 49 R&M bought out Hunter.  I had a R-36 I ebayed that had the "The Hunter Fan & Ventilation Company" of Memphis Tenn. on its motor tag.  Well I am pretty sure Hunter was going by this name just prior to their move to Memphis? :wondering:  Your fan has "The Hunter Fan & Motor Company" of Fulton, New York.  This would more than likely date your fan like Andrew has suggested.
