THE STAR MODEL 12 WINDMILL - 10ft

   The Flint & Walling Manufacturing Company, under an earlier name, started windmill production in 1878 in Kendallville, Indiana, USA. The display windmill (not pictured) came onto the market in 1912, and was originally available with 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 foot diameter wind wheels. Later, 18 and 20 foot models were added.
   The Star Model 12 was presumably replaced in the company's line up by the Star Model 24 windmill in 1924.
   The Morawa Museum example was donated by Lyons River Station, through the collecting efforts of Henry JONES of Boogardie Station, Mt Magnet, Western Australia.
