Is this fan on eBay a rather new Hunter with an antique GE oak leaf bottom cover? Attached Image (viewed 940 times):

Not sure David, but I am sure that those are some funky shades on that light kit!

That's a trellis with GRAPE vines. Hunter did copy the GE grape leaf in the 80s, but that one does look like the GE bottom.

As Plato once said, "a grape vine that bears no fruit is an oak leaf".

So it is little wonder that there is a lack of horticultural understanding in the US? Hunter did do oak leaves as well ...

between the late 70s and 1990, Hunter offered ornate accessory kits in Grape leaf , Oakleaf and Ivyleaf flavors. the kits consisted of a bottom plate, embellishments for the side of the motor and ornate blade irons but usually, you just see the ornate bottom plate. The fan above is a 1979 original with grape leaf bottom plate and Casablanca blades and irons Last edited on Sat Mar 8th, 2014 07:21 pm by Chris Kelly |

The first fan does look like a Hunter judging by the looks of the rotor. Here is my oakleaf style ceiling fan, which is a real deal GE. Last edited on Sun Mar 9th, 2014 03:15 am by Louis Weedman |

Now that I actually compared the different types of leaves, I see the difference. I have seen grape/ivy/whatever leaf fans being called "oak leaf" by various other folks.

I just looked through a Commander catalog at DT (Taiwanese company that did the castings for Hunter) and they show an exact copy of the GE bottom plate available in 1978 so that may not even be a GE bottom. One would have to examine it in person to tell.

I feel that I should note that I am just kidding and I wont be parting out my Hunter. If I make it to Aiken this year the Hunter ceiling fan will probably make the trip too Attached Image (viewed 482 times):
