From an old magazine

Maria, thanks for posting. We may have had this one. One thing notable was how cheap the candles were. They would smoke like anything and burn down quickly. But that was just as well - you wouldn't want to leave the thing unattended.

I recently passed on an elaborate wooden German whirlygig at a flea market because it had been damaged, the woman wanted about $30 too much for it, and it wasn't THAT old. Plus not having any room at all to set the thing up. But they are fun to see in OTHER people's houses.
