ADAMS SALESMAN SAMPLE WINDMILL. Precision crafted miniature complete with brass castings and fully movable components.

Co., Marseilles, Ills., patented Sept. 23, 1873″. Base includes a brass maker’s tag, which reads” J. H. Goodell, Marseilles, Ills”. At one time the model had a wooden case that fit over the model, which is affixed to a wooden board. However, the cover no longer exists. SIZE: 24″ l x 17″ d. CONDITION: In good working condition with nice original surface patina. 1-6226 PF (6,000-8,000)
