An 1870 vintage traveling wheel. This is a very rare wheel, with three green spots and only 28 red and black spots. One of the green spots has an eagle with MASON & CO. 84 DEARBORN ST. CHICAGO. The other two are the standard 0 & 00.

The address on the wheel dates it to the 1870s. There is a solid brass center with plenty of inlaid brass. The wheel spins and is very smooth - it does rub on the side a bit and has some cracks.

On the bottom there is a cross-brace attached with wing nuts, which come off; the wheel then lifts out and the sides fold in half.

We do not have the box the wheel went in, but we do have an old cloth that came with the wheel, to be used as a playing field; it has a homemade look to it. The case is 21 1/2 inches diameter to the outside edge x 6 inches tall. The wheel is 15 1/4 inches in diameter.
