This mill was removed from Mustila Manor, which is in bad order and is now surrounded by trees. It has the usual four sham sails, new with stocks and whips; nothing is complete. There is a live curb, broken in one place, which has wooden rollers, 8 in. diameter by 8 in. long, bound with wrought iron rings at each end. Outside was a clasp-arm great spur wheel with four cants straight and four others set diamondwise in relation to the first.
