I made a post full of SQUEE and ALL THE PHOTOS on my blog about an antique spinning wheel I just got. NO IDEA if it's going to end up working or not, but I wanted to rescue her and take a shot at fixing her up.

Any ideas about this maker's mark also appreciated, and feel free to peruse the full blog post.



needs-to-be-rotated image of a heart with a little cross type thing at the bottom, with the letters W (backwards S) J in the middle, or possible "J S W" ?

If it helps, there are many obviously hand-crafted bits and a blacksmithed part as well, so I think this spinning wheel is pre-interchangeable parts or at least pre-standardization of parts making.

(p.s. I am lizcommotion's alter crafting ego journal.)
