Those patent dates appear to be valid Corcoran patents.

Bob,
My understanding is that the mill was brought in from a ranch in New Mexico. This begs the question on how a mill built in New Jersey ended up in New Mexico, especially with all the windmill manufacturers located in the mid-west being much closer (thus less freight costs).

Also, the Bronson windmill in Fairfield, CT has been restored and is on the National Register of Historical Places. The Corcoran windmill enclosed tower in Rumsom, NJ has been restored but the mill itself is missing. I have an original advertising piece showing Teddy Roosevelt's home on Oyster Bay, L.I. I'll try to scan and post a copy.

Dan, try sending photos from your phone to your computer, then attached to this site.
I had to learn this the hard way, but it worked.

You say you can send photos between phones. Maybe send the photos to Jim's phone and he can post them.
