Summary
A model tinplate windmill painted green and red with a red dome. There are two black painted windows in the main body and a black painted door in the lower third. Four red painted sails are attached to a rod which passes through the windmill to a power take-off (flywheel) at the rear. This is driven by a boiler and a flywheel (not in this record). A flagpole surmounts the dome and flies a black, blue and white flag. The windmill sits on a square green and red painted base.
Marks and inscriptions
