Vintage Hunter fan, model 265 C-16 comes exactly as shown. Fully oscillating and all 3 speeds work wonderfully, very quiet. The “issue” is as shown in last 3 pics with the metal cage. Couple of parts have come unwelded and there’s some parts of the cage that have gotten bent. Hopefully with your own tlc it can all be made to look wonderful again. Main thing though, is that it’s fully functional. Thank you very much!

Vibrates when running so I think it needs balancing. Some dings in the bases. See pictures for details.

This very powerful Hunter Zephair is an oldie, but a goodie. It still oscillates and provides a strong breeze. Works great on both speeds, but does hum slightly more on low which might be normal for an antique. The fan also wobbles slightly while running. I recorded the fan running, but the wobble is so minor that it is difficult to see in the footage. Over all this fan is in nice shape for its age with some minor paint defects like small scratches. This fan still has plenty of life left in it!
