THIS AUCTION IS FOR A VERY LARGE WOODEN SHIPS WHEEL FROM AN OLD MARITIME ESTATE.THE WHEEL IS ABOUT 5 FEET IN DIAMETER AND IS VERY, VERY HEAVY.I BELIEVE IT MAY BE FROM AROUND THE TURN / BEGINNING OF THE CENTURY?THIS WHEEL WAS FOUND IN AN OLD ESTATE OF A HUGE COLLECTOR OF MARITIME ITEMS. THE ESTATE WAS PURCHASED 28 YEARS AGO, AND THE GENTLEMAN WHO PASSED, WAS 97 AT THE TIME. IN ADDITION TO HAVING A HUGE COLLECTION HE WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE MARITIME HISTORICAL SOCIETY. HE HAD MANY ONE OF A KIND ITEMS, SOME OF WHICH ARE NOW IN MUSEUMS.AS FAR AS SHIPPING, I WILL DO A LOCAL PICKUP OR I WILL TAKE THIS WHEEL TO A LOCAL UPS STORE OR OTHER SHIPPING COMPANY FOR PACKAGING AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS AND CHARGE THE ACTUAL SHIPPING COSTS.
