That was more than a good purchase Tommy.

Itīs a B36 Tommy :)
They were made in (at least) two versions. This with platform/ladder and one without those.
Also, one was 21" tall, and the other 24", but i can not recall which was what...or if height variated within same model as well.
Thanks Jan, this one is the 21" model. There's a little surface rust in the water tray where it goes into the base. Non on the bottom. I watched go around on Ebay several times. They started at $750, then $555 for a couple of weeks. When it hit $355 I thought better me then someone else.

Yes, as Jan says, a B36... some websites are wrong, I can dig some ads I have saved if nobody beats me to it...
I find this windmill far more attractive with the cream paint and more realistic ladder 8) Still need to find one like it someday...

Tommy, itīs an Empire 90, or the "Power Boy" as it was called in the ads.
Very nice little engine, congratulations !
(Know it most likely is a typo, but in the interest of perfection, your new windmill (if Empire) would be named B36, and not B56)
The model name for the windmill, B56, I found on another members site who has the exact same one. I better include a picture of that also.
Here's the windmill.

I found an Empire B 56 windmill on Ebay that included a small Empire Steam Engine but I haven't been able to ID it. Looked at all the adds for Empire on Ebay, googled it, still nothing. The bottom doesn't have the Metal Ware stamping in it, just the Empire Decal on the side. It's an oscocilator, isocilater,
it's a Spitter or a Skipper has I call em. You'll see.
