is this a windmill part ?

[mtblah]

picked this up along with several other items , is it for any windmill ?

[mtblah]

maybe this one is easier , built by Stover , but , NO lettering remains , wetting the surface did not help , the mounting arms have the same shape as the Ideal Steel built by Stover , this not for an Ideal .

Never have seen a Stover tailvane like that Mike,i have seen where some companies built windmills for other manufacturers and the tailvane was different or power mills too "Maybe".

[Windcatcher530 Dan]

They did make a Freeport windmill for a few years but never have seen one"Maybe".?

I think I changed my mind . It is too similar to the Ideal Steel windmills I have reserected . Both sold in this South Central part of Texas , and , this tail came from the same area , so , my guess , Ideal Steel .
The other Ideal's still had paint lettering on the tails , this one has nothing , sun killed it all , both sides , but , the tail pin holes are perfect not worn oblong like the others , wonder where it sat for so many years .
