This is a professionally made model of a stamp mill with working parts inside. There are 10 stamps with separation tables below, and numerous wheel and pulleys to the engine house to run the stamp mill. It's a large building, approximately 48 inches long, 28 inches wide and 34 inches tall. Electrically wired for operation. Comes with extra belts , an ore car rock pile. While it's a working model, the design of the belts is slightly off and they come off the wheels, as happens when not perfectly seated. It could use a little work to make sure the belts stay on the pulleys and wheels all the time. This model clearly took someone months to make and is a gem for any museum display. This type of mill was commonplace from the 1870s onward. It was constructed by Morris Jackson, whose name plate adorns the model. State: City: Date: ID#46413
