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!
So sorry it too so long to reply, had to work on getting the garden in this weekend.
They are separate, side by side. Yes, they are pretty faint!
We just thought it was fairly unique as we could NOT find anything online after we purchased it (it was at an antique store in Paris, Tx.).
Then, just last week we saw one in Burleson, with the standard 3 legs: for [b][i][u]$900.00!![/u][/i][/b] [b]0.0[/b] The minors head was in worse shape than ours was, and, like ours, had no spindle with it. Guess they really loved that wheel, lol!
Oh, and now knowing your location, be careful today with the coming weather!
