Unusual Wooden Hammer MILL Claquoir Popular Art Work

An ancient and fun model of a windmill all made of painted wood. It has the peculiarity of having two cladding hammers striking alternately on a small glass plate. The mechanism can be moved in three ways, by turning the wings of course, by a pulley located at the rear with the help of a belt and a small motor.

And finally the most original on the top of the mill, a hopper receiving rice a priori (because I found it inside) flowing and spinning an internal wheel thus moving the two hammers (like a crecelle), these seeds are then recovered by the orifice that you can see in Photo No. Really a nice, original and inventive popular work!

Height: 65 cm, width at wing level: 42 cm, depth: 22.5 cm. It must date approximately from the 1920s - 1930s, it remained in original colors. More than 1,000 collectibles permanently in my shop.
