A Book Of Spinning Wheels

Over 350 color photos illustrate the American spinning wheel from 1775-1900, with substantial sections on fancy European wheels and accessories. Sections on Shaker wheels, patent wheels, famous makers, chair wheels, Irish castle wheels, double flyer wheels, and an appendix of 1000 makers and their marks. The pictured items are from important private collections that have never been seen before.

To the experienced doll aficionado this is an excellent reference tool, while the fledging collecter will find fascinating stories about their newly discovered passion. Bisque, china, wax, cloth, and shell are all covered, as well as doll houses and their furniture.
