Vintage Spinning Wheel – “Accelerator” style
Vintage double treadle accelerator spinning wheel with 2 ratios, designed for fast, fine spinning. This beauty is unmarked, but similar to other old Quebec double wheels. The donor said it is at least 50 years old and possibly 100. Size is 38″H x 36″W x 14″D . Wheel is functional and in remarkable condition for its age, but will likely need some adjustments. Best for an intermediate or advanced spinner who is interested in a historic wheel. The link below shows a nearly identical wheel in Maine, named Pierre Lapin (Peter Rabbit) by its owner.
