A must for the collector of shaker items or high end sewing pieces. The yarn winder folds down with simplicity and can be display opened for a visual show! Pure Shaker design, well formed lathe work, scribe marks etc. This yellow ochre color is what the Keno boys were going gaga over on their tv show. The ORIGINAL color is present on the top cup formed finial, the bottom thumb screw, the clamp section and the adjusting piece. Both thumb screw pieces are hand threaded wood. One triple connection on the yarn winder needs a string to hold them together, also one piece appears to be a different wood and/or color. The ochre parts are birch while the yarn section arms appear to be poplar with one being a darker grain or possibly cedar. Additional photos available upon request. A great piece of Americana, guaranteed as stated and Shaker made! Status: For Sale Reference#: 141_bri Condition: good-very good Year: c1860
