  1. Spinning Wheel

    Share Share Post
    William Doggett still possesses a spinning wheel, which belonged to his wife's mother.
    It is three-legged and worked by the foot.
    It is not now in use - but was used up to two years ago.
    Only one "card" remains, made of wood and wire.
    He also has part of the Ram-rod of an old gun. It is made of wood.
