A novelty windmill which includes a propeller, a drive shaft which is driven by the propeller, a motion transmitter for transmitting motion to a display item, and a display item which is moved by the motion transmitter. The novelty item is placed on a vehicle, so that the windmill and display item move as the vehicle is driven. The novelty windmill preferably includes a brake mechanism which controls the speed of the windmill. The brake mechanism may be in the form of a friction member which causes frictional force on the drive shaft when an air brake lever is rotated or otherwise moved due to the force of moving air on a brake paddle member. The display item can be a movable mascot or insignia for a sports team. The windmill may be placed on a moving vehicle.
