Isn't it true that anything made years ago holds up so much longer? Take cars for instance, it would take a lot to damage an old 1950 chevy!!
These fans are being made today which are replicas but this one we have had since the 1960's.
The Hunter-Zepher company was found in the 1880's and that's all I could find out about it. Today the name Zepher has been dropped and it's the Hunter Co.

Stay cool!!!

Ann,
That's so cooool!
grins.
Yes a pun on words.
Like the fan and I agree, I think the older made items have a better chance of outlasting the newer.
All by design.
Blessings,

Creative post and photos for Z!
Wishing you a Happy Week ~ ^_^
Yes things were built to last back then. Nice to have a soft zephyr blowing.
there is a lot of monetary value to your old fan, especially since the name has changed.
I love the design of it and glad you still use it.
Creative Z. My last name begins with a Z and I spell it all the time. I think I've said "Z as in zebra..." a million times.
I always find myself reading other people's posts and wondering why I didn't choose what they did. We had a Zephyr motorbike and travelled France on it. Next round perhaps.

That's a beautiful fan. I've often thought that that the first of any thing was built to last. I had a Powercomputing Mac-clone that I used for over 10 years. Today, I'm fortunate if my computer doesn't go belly-up after 3 years.

zepher or sefan,
very powerful.
You'd have to be VERY careful not to let anything (like a finger) get in there while the fan is running! Cool post! Pardon the pun...

I couldn't resist stopping by Ann whilst you have the fan going....! Tonight we don't, but tomorrow we will as it's getting really hot :) Your fan looks iconic :)
Happy New Year

I really love this fan! I remember my folks having a fan like this. It is true, nothing is made to last today, so sad. Great Z post Ann!
