Falk Windmill.My latest Windmill arrived today and it is a Falk Windmill c1930.
The only marking it has is 'Made in Germany' stamped on the bottom.

Now I have a few Windmills, I thought I would start my own Windfarm.

I like it but one does have to wonder about the colour choice 
Disturbing thing for me is, that there used to be a very popular range of enameled coffee pots here that looked just like that & can't remove the image from my mind

Enough windmills to go off of the grid and sell electricity back to the power company
Great collection of windmills.

Thankyou all for your kind comments.
You are right Richard, there is still one more to come and probably the best one of them all so far.
It has been know to have the odd tree or two being blown down around here.

Great Collection, Les, 
Are the two Falks the same? Just different colors?
How are you getting he ID on the Falks?
Do you have a reference or is it the similarity to the214/0?

Thank you.
The two windmills are identical, only the colours are different.
It is through the similarity to the #214/0 (p135 Steam Toys). It is the only make of windmill that is that shape, also it is identical to the #214/0, same height and diameter, only minus the balcony. Therefore I am presuming (right or wrong) that it is the #214.
If I or anyone else finds it is not then I will change it.

Sorry, I misunderstood you for a minute.

1. 15.5cm
2. 17cm
3. 19cm
4. 17cm
5, 17cm
