EARLY AAFA FOLK ART ANTIQUE WOOD CARNIVAL GAME WHEEL BICYCLE ORIGINAL PAINT!!

Description

EARLY AAFA FOLK ART ANTIQUE CARNIVAL GAMING WHEEL GAME OF CHANCE WOODEN BICYCLE WHEEL
Up for bid is this fabulous old antique gaming wheel in very nice condition for its age.  The wheel itself is all original with some nicks and scuffs here or there.  We're guessing that this is from the early 1900's but we don't know.
On one side it's yellow with black letters and blue trim. On the other side, you can pretty much just see the yellow wood part.  The numbers on the front side range from 1 to 120 and start with 1, 21, 41, 61, 81, and 101, then 2, 22, 42, etc.  We don't know what game this would have been but this old wheel, mounted on a bicycle rim has great character and charm!
The wheel measures 31.5" across and weighs about 8.5 lbs.  The bicycle wheel measures 25" across.
The pins around the wheel are metal, rust, strong and even somewhat sharp if you catch them wrong.  The paint on the wheel is crazed, alligator-ed, worn, scuffed, nicked, marked and patina-ed ... just the way we love it! The bicycle wheel and the spokes are rusty, crazed and scuffed.  The outside rim of the bicycle wheel is wood ... which could date it from as far back 1869 when they started making bicycle wheels made from metal spokes and wooden rims.  Later, the rims went to metal so it's likely that at some point, someone took an old wheel and made this game wheel. We don't know the age of this item but we wish it could talk!!
