Exceptional American Victorian mechanical wool winder - the finest example that I have ever seen!
The wood for the winder, I believe, is made from cherry. The quality of the workmanship and turnings is exceptional!
The extensive decoration in porcelain and bovine bone, the finely turned spokes - and best of all is the mechanical gear driven counter - dial in the number of yards that you want, and the bell rings once the number has been reached!
Size is 36\" tall x 29\" wide x 16\" deep - the wheel is 29\" in diameter - the hand cut gears are 5\" to 5 1/2\" in diameter. The piece is in good working order.
A very fine working wool winder or an accent piece that will make a statement in any setting! You will not find a nicer one.
