I was working in the old part of town today on a remodeling job. I was looking around and there is this very old thing on top of an old metal stand like a windmill stand. It looked like an airplane propeller with a shaft attached and then a sprocket, chain, and an old motor below that. On the tail of this thing was an old wooden sign that I thought said “Winchester”. I got pretty excited and wondered how I was gonna obtain that sign. I got out the bino’s and the wooden sign said Windcharger” not Winchester. Colorful, well done sign. Still gonna look into getting it. It was very cool. Peter

Yes except the one had a wooden tail fin with the painted sign that was still in pretty good shape. Wonder how old they are? Thanks for the pictures. Peter

No, but always interested in old Americana, when our country was truly GREAT.
