The name on the vane is Pacific Hardware Steel Co San Francisco. I find nothing about the company in the big book. Interesting with the Eclipse weight. I'm betting someone that comes to the site knows the answer.

Other side of the tail sheet should have the make. Usually only one side has the supplier's name. I love that mill! It's AWESOME! 4 sails per section, mounted on the outside of the outer band. A couple companies did that, but not sure of the make of this one. Looks a little familiar though.

Flint & Walling Steel Star is my guess, modified with a different weight.

Omg. No wonder it looked familiar. I have one that I built several years ago. But I never had the wheel. Guess i'm losing it. lol Or maybe I just have too many mills to remember them all.
