This was a whirligig and a half! It included a man chopping wood, a woman washing clothes in a bucket, two men riding mules and two small planes. They don't come much more elaborate or colorful than this. Eddie Wiseman, who brought it to the Armory, commented that it would need quite a stiff breeze to power that lot! It had come to him from a Florida estate, but he was sure it had been made in Maine. He'll be happy to tell you the price if you ask him.
