Made of silver?

Generally speaking, this area is for general discussion about windmills, in most cases.

Why that tail if it's an Airflow? Don't they have a tail like the one in PaulV's picture?

Sears Champion was essentially an Airflow, but with a different vane. I believe I obtained these photos from the old site.

Flint & Walking is out because all F & W Mills run counter clockwise.
That one turns clockwise.

Yep, the top photo is mine and I posted there. Or maybe it was the old old forum :)

The second one is interesting with 4 blades per section- must be a 10' and most of it (not wheel) looks NOS. Don't think I've seen one before in Champion clothing.

I have a Champion, and it is a Stover model M all the way. You know, the model with the 'plain' bearings. That means no bearings at all, just cast on steel. That's why I don't have any that are not locked up tight. Not at all like the one you're all showing here.

Interesting.
