This is a beautiful antique spinning wheel with original label showing who it was made for - E.P. Purge Jr of Chesterfield NH. This is a Minor of Marcellas, New York patented wheel. These were made from 1803-1810. Minors patent greatly increased the speed of rotation of the spindle of wool wheels by adding a second pulley between the great wheel and the spindle pulley, more than doubling the spindle\'s velocity. This increased speed of rotation imparted more twist to the yarn with less effort. My father refinished it in the 80s. Measures: Wheel Only 44 1/4\" wide, Floor to top of wheel 61\" left to right 73\". Comes aport in 4 pieces.If you want it shipped I can bring the the UPS store for them to box and ship with insurance  because I don\'t have the means to ship those big items.
