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!

Don’t miss your chance to own one of the rarest, finest antique ceiling fans ever made. Here is a very interesting comparison between this version of the Peerless and an almost identical Diehl fan also from the same 1910 era, thanks to Chat GPT 5. There is no evidence that Peerless copied Diehl, it was more like a common design. T he Peerless and Diehl “spider-leg” style ceiling fans were not in production for very long compared to more standard designs. Here’s the breakdown. Phased Out: Late 1920s-early 1930s, as more modern “stamped steel motor” ceiling fans (cheaper to produce, lighter) became the standard. Estimated Run: Roughly 15-20 years for the ornate cast-iron Peerless ceiling fans. Phased Out: By the early 1930s, as Westinghouse and Emerson took over the market with stamped steel motor fans. Estimated Run: About 20-25 years of that classic “open motor / spider-leg” Diehl ceiling fan design. Summary: Both Peerless and Diehl made these ornate cast-iron ceiling fans for about two decades each (roughly 1910s-1930s). After that, cheaper stamped-steel units dominated, and by the 1940s-50s companies like Hunter and Emerson were leading the field with simplified, mass-market designs.
