Did some research and apparently Mr.Axtel started selling his windmills under the Flint and Walling name until around 1905 . I would venture to say that's a rare windmill. Nice Find !!!

“F.W.” is Fred W. Axtell and it looks to be a Baker Monitor open gear. He sold a lot of Baker Monitors.

It is still worth saving or trying to acquire it. I’d have to see additional photos to possibly narrow it down to a specific Monitor model.

I have never seen a windmill ...not...worth saving. Restoring is one thing, saving is another.
