Antique Windmill

The Antique Engine & Tractor Association preserves the American Farm heritage by restoring all types of farm equipment. It was a labor of love for Charlie Reiss to preserve this antique and the galvanizer was proud to be a part of this project. Corrosion is the main enemy of the preservation effort and galvanizing eliminates that concern. The galvanizer provided the technical support and galvanizing services at no charge. Galvanizing for corrosion protection will be a part of the educational program at the AE&TA; historic museum.
