Greg, shuffling thru the pile I found a similar sail and clip of unknown origin (to me).
Don't know what I did with my Dandy sections. Dang, I sure hope nobody lifted them. I will look again. Pictures to come...

I don't i only have parts but I'm 99 percent sure your wheel section is early dandy. when i got my dandy the main frame was busted in half only two sails were left and just the tailbone no vane.My two lmproved 1895 models are different than the original. The frame is different, the hub, the tailbone and vane etc.i believe the wheels were identical except for the cast sail ties.Check the internet there might be a pic on there good luck

Seems they were plentiful in Texas. Guys that used to be on here had plenty if I remember. Wonder what happened to all them folks.
I found 2 from my area. I felt really lucky to have those. Challenge was not popular around here.

As far as the original dandy it's going to be hard finding one for sale that's complete.Parts are even very rare to find.Im lucky to have the parts I have
