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!

LOL !! And that’s the same thing I have been doing,,trying to get the garden in before the rain !! Just like a flat of peppers and a few other things not critical,,and I am done !! Then the big garden starts !! Corn, peas, beans ect !! Paris is just a few miles from me although its been a few years since I have been there.!!
Here is a link so you can read the replies from the other forum !! May be getting more but one of the members has a 4 leg wheel ,, read his reply !! Looks like we are on the right track !!
I think your pics are fine !!
Looks like the worst weather is going north and south of us,, We are in Mt. Pleasant !!
Last year we got completely washed out !! Am praying that the rains stay moderate this year !! My tomatoes rotted on the vine and even those that I picked as they were turning rotted before they ripened !! Cross your fingers this year and watch the weather where you are !! Could get rough !!
$900. is totally out of reason !! But most of the shops in DFW and your area are priced for buyers from the same area that have no clue what things should sell for !!
