Little wool, shhhh up yah. Why would it be a wind up, I've only found out today that exactly what it was and the fact its rare.
My client is a carpenter amongst various other trades, he has made a lot of differnt things and they are just sitting round his house, and he is skint. He got this wheel from someone for £10 who said it was from a hospital and its from 1890. That is ALL the information he had and thus me. He purely designs and makes things to fit into this little pub like setup hes built into his house with no idea about antiquity value or with the view to sell it on. Thats why I've starting looking into his stuff too see what its worth. I am no antique dealer atall but I do have a head for buisness so I asked around, thats why I'm here!
Here some pictures, they are poor quality, I fear that biggwuff or whoever it is is correct in the fact that its going to devalue what I now know to be rare... but still. Would be interested to know what...
What would it have been worth in reasonable condition
Has reclaiming it (he has added no varnish, just teak oil) reduced the value and would it do the same for other wheels (he has others as chandillers)
What could it be worth now.
Thankyou. (I'm only joking btw Big, its just you thought I was fake, im not im just new today at this
