Description

I would like to know the value of this 26 in. wide brake wheel that states "Baldwin's Patent January 28 1879". It is believed that this wheel may have been used to operate a screw and linkage system connected to brake blocks. The wheel has been mounted to a spindle by bushings and attached to a wall so it can turn.
