So.. hang in there Wayne. Might turn into a real keeper.

Wow, I never realized that sears sold Albion (Wolcott & Union) and Smith & Pomeroy windmills.

Windy - Are you saying these were sold under the Sears Name? Or that they just sold the brands in their catalogue?

They offered these brands through their catalogs. I could go back and see what names they used, I didn't pay much attention to that. The "green book" does get more specific. Look under Sears and Roebuck. It gives the complete list in historic order. I would say Chronological order, but I can't spell chronological. lol

What is this Green Book people write about that seems to have so much neat info?

It is T. Lindsays book for all the trade literature found on the windmill history. I think there was a picture I posted a long time ago. Covers are darker green, like Hunter green. It's great reading, especially on days where you can't, ( or won't ) go out.

Do you know if it is still available? I'm always looking for good stuff to read.

I don't know. I might check later. I think the last time someone looked it up, it was quite expensive.

I think Bob is talking about Dr. Baker’s book “North American Windmill Manufacturers' Trade Literature : A Descriptive Guide”
A very hard book to find.
