Unusual Heller Aller

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

I agree been there 4 times but never was able to go through the whole museum as the folks I was with weren't as interested as me. Plan on going by myself and may need to look through the collection.

I took that pic a couple years ago at Chuck Rickgauers windmill farm in Tolar Texas. Its a rare Heller Aller that very few were made. It's an interesting looking mill but a flop. The odd looking oil system didn't work well. Total number made was around 200 I believe. Yes it has a bonnet. I took it off for the pic.
