I  have to admit that at least half my wheels are antiques and most of them are nonfunctioning at this time.  I have a vintage Hutterite wheel that needs a new axle to work but it is a nice little thing and someday I will find a person who can repair it.   These are all wheels that I looked at and said nope I can't let you be taken to the dump...   All but one need very little work to make them functional again....

So new antique/vintage wheel pops up on Facebook.  Did a quick glance eh nice Saxony style but I don't need it.  Second photo however grabbed my attention.  That footman says Paradis...  Go back give all the photos a good look and OMG it is a CPW in really good shape!  Needs work I can do and the flyer need replaced or repaired but the price is very low...  Sadly my friends think I am crazy but unless that wheel is more damaged then the photos show she will come home with me on Sunday.
