A very strange hacienda windmill house I acquired...

I was going through all of my putz house photographs on my laptop last night, and spied this picture I took of a hacienda windmill I acquired way back in 2013 in a bunch lot I purchased from an antique dealer on Ebay. I was going to post it here when I first joined back in 2015, but I totally forgot. I thought back then it was nothing, but now since I've been in the "collector mode" for several years now, I feel that I might have something rare here. Below is the photograph I took of this oddity. I have never seen another one like it since.

clinton...

there's just something about hacienda windmill houses...i can see why you were drawn to it!...it's a real gem!...thanks for sharing with the forum...i wonder if forum member, tom hull, has a similar one in his extensive hacienda house collection?...i guess it's lost to history just how many variations there could have been...

Thanks Howard for your post. Yes! I bought a box of "TLC houses" ( I think I got the whole box of around 15 houses for around $30! ) It was a "buy it now" deal and I talked him down from $50 I think if my memory serves me. There it was-- a really beat up little windmill house. Looks as if someone tried to reglue it to the base with good ol' Elmers glue. I wished I could find a picture of one with it all intact, but I feel that this was one of those "one off custom" experiments. The oddballs are always the best, aren't they?
