The yellow mill is a Kelly Duplex, No. 2, made in Springfield,
Ohio. I got the mill one week, and the next week, in the January
issue of GEM was the information about when they sold out to
Superior. One and a half weeks later, I received the American Farm
Implements and Antiques Encyclopedia, and on page 144 was the
history of the Kelly 1888.
The mill was rusted and frozen up pretty badly, but not busted.
Yellow is the original color. The mill stands 36 inches high.
The grain box was copied from the implement book, but made
smaller. The history of this mill was easy, thanks to such
publications.
The orange mill is a Montgomery-Ward. It had been taken partly
apart and it was rusted pretty badly. On the burr release handle is
marked February 2, 1909. The hopper extension is poplar. The unit
stands 29 inches high.
