Condition: the cylinder platform is Not in adjustment and will not tick, although the staff is still good. The fan motor works fine and the mill turns with realism. The cast spelter case shows wheat stacked by the lower door, waiting to be ground by the miller. The original fan has a repair on the rear and a bit of lead added to balance it for smooth turning. Height 16 inches
