Hello all,
I got outbid on this unit on Craigslist but am still curious as to what make it is. I am located in Southern California. This had a three legged tower with it. Any help is appreciated!

I'm not sure, but will also wait. Nice mill!

That's an early Fairbanks. The wheel clips and that bead at the very tip of the sail is a sure give away...

I was not sure, but did look up early Fairbanks in the green book. They had a model W for a short time also.

I like the simplicity of the design single gear minimal parts

I have an early Fairbanks, but it's a little different than that. Need to get to that one day....

Windy you sound like what a fellow said about me one time. If I live to be a 100 I couldn't finish all my projects. Told him I'll sure have fun trying.
