Description
Old spinning wheel. I believe it's what called a Castle spinning wheel. I was going to give this to a friend as part of a fundraiser for a charity and wondered what kind of price she should be asking. It is missing the strap that goes around the wheel to spin it. Spindle pulleys are not the originals. There is a crack that has been mended (see picture)

My grandmother got this 2nd hand from a neighbour in British Columbia and gave it to my mom as a birthday present in the late 60's. It looked very old then. We didn't ever use it for spinning, and it just sat out looking cool and old.
