I just saw this, simply astonishing! Do you know what the model name for this is or was it simply called a Stover then?

K.R.B. there were several manufacturers that made the Stover mill before Stover became a company for stover.i believe this one was made by Freeport manufacturing.i guess it's just a Stover

I brought this thread back up because I've been wondering how this old wooden Stover Mill found its way into NY back in 1878.The town i found it in is Elmira near the Pennsylvania boarder. Well I'm thinking this is how.
