One last item I acquired last week in York, PA was this very large (22 Inches!) windmill. The seller had it marked Eiffel but my toy collector friend told me it is Carette. It is pretty much identical to the one on page 93 of the Hirschberg book identified as probably Carette.

great windmill - very rare and never seen before
it is really like the "Eiffel Tower" in Paris...
Congrats, Arnold
Yeah Jim, that's not an Eiffel, that's a "DANDY".
Very nice indeed.
Could possibly be Carette; however in my catalog the Carette machine is not so detailed, I’m thinking that it could also be Krauss & Mohr, nonetheless a bloody ripper.
First photo is from Carette catalog and second photo is most of my windmill collection in the car garage taken on the oblique to fit them in the lens.

Nice collection. I wonder which way the wind blows in your garage?
