Just the sign, as I watched the video of your vane creation!

So now I know your "trophy guy" secret too.   ;c)

Looks like you have another windmill vane on eBay.  The one before went to nearly $70... supply and demand!  I'll have to see how this new one goes as I need one for my brother's but it also needs a fan (one blade is busted).


Edit:
I just noticed on your sale "this one fits my Empire #56 model, not sure if it also fits the taller B-36 or No. 36 model".  Here is a photo of them back to back.  For mine, the only difference is the older one has "Empire" on both sides of the vane/tailfin.  Otherwise they are the same.

Thanks for the photo comparison Richard, I assumed it (the fin) would fit both models but I wanted to cover myself just in case there was a difference
