Vintage Wood Carnival WheelHand-painted, Hand-made
2-Sided Spinner
This is a fantastic carnival / circus wheel I purchased about ten years ago and displayed as art. It is two sided, one with metal rods or spokes that look like they were used to grip and spin the wheel. I'm not overly sure how it was mounted or to what kind of stand/holder. This is for the wheel and arrow only as no stand was provided.
The arrow is particularly spectacular as it does spin. The arrow is heavy and weighted with what looks to be metal plugs to give it weight when it rotates. There are details galore on this. The paint patina is solid, with different hand painted designs on both sides. The edge of the wheel has a metal embossed band with dimensional dots. The band is a bit loose but still there and nicely worn. You can secure it yourself but I'm keeping it original and as I received it. The arrow is its own kind of awesome.
Due to the overall weight and size, this will likely be shipped in two boxes so shipping fees are considered when priced. It's heavy (ie. costly to ship), and the metal spokes will need extra padding and care.
I was told this came from Coney Island but have no actual documentation to that fact. So I'm passing on the little information I have on this item. Sold as is.
