Windmill Wheel 8 foot IBC wheel made in Brisbane
$500
This old wheel is one of the more robust designs to be made and seen locally.
It's 8 feet in diameter,or 2.4 metres,making it a fair chunk.
The IBC company sold boring and windmill equipment in South Africa,New Zealand and Australia.The brand name followed the market they targeted(Intercolonial Bornig Company).
The local office was in Brisbane,which makes this wheel somewhat rarer down in this part of the country.
It's heavy and robust,with plenty of character for the yard art or wall art display.I have heard these wheels described mistakenly as having "fins cut from a 44 gallon drum".The 'sails' are actually swaged from heavy plain galvanised sheet by the maker and are quite distinct from drum portions when you are taking a first hand look up close.
Plenty of charisma in this chunky vintage item.
Thanks for viewing.

The doors legs and flue pop are cast iron. It’s big and it’s well made. Perfect for a fancy shed or could be refurbished easily to put in the house. It needs a couple of firebricks replaced,and the baffle is warped,needs replacing also. Firm price. A phone call will be required at some stage . Thanks for viewing.$500Allansford, VIC•2d

- Windmill wheel Windmill fan 6 foot Southern CrossThis 6 foot windmill wheel was part of the latest recovery project. I was able to purchase a complete wrecked windmill for parts and the wheel we see here was mostly buried and overgrown with pasture. I love these little six foot versions with their smart slender appearance and plenty of sails. This model is known out on the job as being quite lively with very little wind about. As i say,quite a personal favourite that i have watched turning many times while wondering how,while there seems to b$650Allansford, VIC•1w
