First time on here, so not really sure where to post about a spinning wheel, but here goes:
We picked up a Great Wheel with 4, not the typical 3 legs. We have looked for maker’s marks on the end of the bench, with no luck – however, there are two circles with the 6 petaled flower on the center of the bench.
Does anyone know which maker that would be?
The wheel, bench, posts, legs, MOA and minor’s head are all obviously hand made, using either wooden pegs or hand crafted nails where needed.
The only history we were given was that it was picked up at a swap meet in Oklahoma before ending up in Texas.
Anyone, please feel free to share what you know about these Great Wheels, if you can?
Thanks!

We did look under the bench, on top of the bench (where we found the two circles), on both ends, and even on the sides – no maker’s mark.
Here is what the circle looks like – you may have to zoom in, it’s fairly faint. And there are two of them, side by side.
We are in Johnson County. Were are you?
Incidentally, I would love to find out where you found info? We looked online for days (which is how I found this site 🙂 ) but found [i]absolutely nothing[/i] about 4-legged Great wheels – only 3-legged ones.
