Will I didn't see a Challenge sectional style in the group, but looks like you are still doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

I agree with Wayne, that Challenge Sectional, the early pattern especially, would be a great model for your collection. I have never found one but that just have a coolness factor. That Tucker is pretty neat though.

It is a Hamilton made by Plymouth Iron.

Thanks Darrin I've never heard of that manufacturer so of course I had to research it and come to find out they also made Daisy air rifles which was more profitable so they stopped making windmills and just made the Daisy air rifles.Do you know if there's any in existence?

Not that I know of. This is a model I created from a picture of the mill in a trade catalog.

I've always thought the Haliday and Challenge sectional wheel looked cool in the collapsed position with that big vane sticking out the back.
