Primitive fanning mill multi grain 1890-1905 original

I'm selling an original multi grain fanning mill from circa 1890-1905. It was manufactured by the BeeBe & Co. Chicago board of trade. It still has its original paint. There are 3 removable screens. Two move laterally when the handle is turned and the lower fine screen moves fore and aft and the cleaned seed drops into a collection pan. There are four paddles to the wheel. This was called a premium mill out of Racine, Wisconsin and was the Champion model. The two upper screens slide out and the holes differ between the two screens to allow a sifting action of the different size seed. The mil measures 56" in length and 30 " wide. It can be easily moved by two men or one man and a dolly. It is in good operating condition. The lower fine screening should be replaced. It is operated by hand as seen in picture, however, I believe with a small gas engine or electric motor using gear reduction could be operated by other than hand power.
