Like I really need another spinning wheel. LOL

My husband found this one. He was in a small town not far from us for work when he happened to see a wheel in an antique store. So we took a ride over there yesterday afternoon. It is beautiful and fixable and a true antique. It seems hard to fulfill all three of those items in an antique store. I spent half the night searching through pictures that the American Textile History Museum has for older wheels. I didn't find it there. I am really hoping to find as much information about this wheel as I can. It is a saxony style with a smallish wheel like a Dutch or a Scandinavian type. The foot pedal has been notched into a diamond pattern.  The bearing assembly is brass and the axle is bent but my machinist hubby can fix that right up for me. The tension screw is an old corroded mess but I am certain I can clean it up and it is missing a dowel which hubby will whittle a new one for me.And best of all, was the price. She is asking $175 but she said she will take 150. In all honesty the wheel is worth almost twice that. The flyer shows very little signs of wear so the wheel does not appear to have been used much. I'll have to try and get pictures when I get it home.
