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!
I read through some articles about how to tell good wheels from bad, what to look for when buying ect !! I read through two or three sites !! Let me see if I can remember the search phrase I used and find it again !! There was just a line or two that mentioned the 4 legs !! I gathered that it wasn`t that important how many legs it has !! Give me a little time & I will see if I can find it again !! Have to take care of things around the farm first !!
Are those circles overlapping or separate ?? They are really faint !!
