Does anyone know what kind of mill this is?

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

I believe that is a Rex, likely a Jr.

I'm sure Jim had a Rex Jr. It had a tail on it though.

I’m sure he did too. And I’m sure it’s in the garage somewhere. Now I know what to look for…

If that's Jim Koch's mill I'm pretty sure it's just a Rex. The Rex Jr. had two governor arms and weights.

Hey Beth, maybe you could donate them all to the Museum in Kendalville. They could have a section for all of Jims stuff by itself. Maybe they could even name it after him. Thoughts?

Bob that's where he used to keep it. It was his job to keep all the mills there maintained and running. He was a nice guy !!!
