Brand New One of a Kind..Still figuring my spindle spinning style out, and I prefer supported spindles. Gold leaf ribbons around the dial. $85.00 inc. shipping to lower 48 US states. Some pretty Hilltop Welsh Cambrian wool will be nested around it….
This is the description:
One-of-a-Kind - STEAMPUNK Style Drop Spindle :
1910’s USA Made Elgin Watch Company
Porcelain with Gold Leaf Accents Pocket Watch Dial
2” Acrylic Whorl with Antique Watch Dial and
Antique to Vintage Watch Gears, Ruby Jewels, and Components

Shaft: 3/32” dia. in Metallic Cobalt Blue

This STEAMPUNK Drop Spindle design stems from the use of a gorgeous and delicate porcelain 1910’s USA made Elgin pocket watch dial with black Roman numerals. The design incorporates antique to vintage (1880’s to 1970’s) watch balance wheel, escapement wheel, large ruby watch jewel, and a steel winding gear around the center shaft - all bonded to the surface of the dial and coated with 2 thick layers of epoxy resin finish.
The WHORL is made from a laser cut acrylic disc that John Galen edge milled and polished to soften the edges. The shaft is made from high carbon (spring) steel with a forged hook that has a 2-part powder coat paint finish applied for a beautiful look and feel. All other components are assembled with an industrial 2-part epoxy glue. The bottom side of this top-whorl drop spindle has a large (1.75” dia.) vintage clock gear attached for added stability and rim weight to make this an amazing spinner!“
I paid over $102 with shipping and tax. Selling for $85 inc. shipping within Lower 48. Thank you for looking. : ) xpost
