Hi,
Does anyone know where I can buy one of those old fashioned
novelty windmills. You know the sort. When the blades are turning, a
wooden bloke behind them vigorously chops wood or winds a bucket in a
well.

It's rather kitsch, I know, but I want to buy one for a friends
birthday. I used to see a lot of them around when I was younger, but
none now.

If anyone knows where I can buy one on line, please let me know.
