Dandy In the air

[Wayne]

After much aggravation, frustration, irritation, fretting and lot of lost sleep the Dandy at Pioneer Village in Corsicana Texas is standing.

That’s very nice. I need to get over and see y’all’s museum

[Wayne]

I say to all your always welcome. Plan to spend some time I'll take you out to the Rogers Homestead. When you come see me I can get you into all the hot spots and it won't cost you anything. You may have to listen to a story or two. No Dan it's not the irrigation model. From the changes that were made in 1895 I believe it was built before then,

Wayne the early Dandys did not have a flange on the 2 gears, After 1895 I believe the flange was incorporated to help keep them aligned better.

Windy Bob and Wayne this shows the difference between the original and the 1895 improved model.
