I've never seen one like it. In most ways it looks like a home-built, but the orifice and a few other bits look commercial. Anybody out there recognize the maker? It is double-drive, the flyer whorl screws onto the spindle, and the mother-of-all is hinged to flop to the side (similar to an Ashford Traveler).

No idea about what type this wheel is but it sure is cute!
well done for saving such a lovely wheel!
I wrote to a member of Spindles and Flyers to see if she recognized the wheel -- she didn't, but had this suggestion. "One option would be to send a photo to the Spinning Wheel Sleuth and have her post an inquiry. http://spwhsl.com/hot_topics/ 'readers ask'
What an interesting head and whorls. It looks like the Kromski way of changing bobbins. Hope it came with a couple extra bobbins.
Great idea, Beryl! I'll do that. Meanwhile I have a query out on Spin-list.
