Description :

Vintage saleman's models of water pump windmills. 

Both models are made of galvanized steel and wood with one identified on the vane as being "Model No. 12-B *  - OILON Bearing AERO - Mfd. by Aero Mfg. Co. of GENEVA, NEBR". The other model has no identifying markings on the vane, but is affixed to a wood base, Very realistic with service ladders on the sides, fully functional turning blades, and weighted swivel heads. Both in excellent condition measuring 17" H.

These were used by salesmen in rural America to generate orders for the company's wind-powered water pumps. Super RARE to find one of these, let alone two!!  Great collector's find.
