2018.417.2280Base and spinning wheel head for a 'walking' or 'great' spinning wheel
  • Object, Spinning Wheel
  • Other, Textiles
Three-legged base for a 'walking' or 'great' spinning wheel. Base was originally from the attic of the Scudder house on the north shore of Islesford. Head is termed a 'minor' head made of wood and iron; it came from the donor's wheel in Sullivan, Maine. Donor is a spinner and weaver, and lectures about heritage textiles. She noticed GCIHS had a wheel with no base in collection (GCIHS 2015.312.2072). The two parts married up perfectly. Wheel dates to ca. 1880s; Shakers made this type of great wheel.
