Here we are in the Easternshore of Delmarva, almost exactly half way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay and we were lucky enough to find this amazing piece. It is a ten spoke/handled wood and metal ships/captains wheel. This is the real thing, right down to the pinned shaft hole in the center, extremely heavy (almost 40 pounds), it measures approx. 43 1/2" across. Great patina, wear and tear from years of use, there are some splatters of paint where it got splashed when someone was painting around it. Our guess this is probably early to mid 1900's, but could be earlier. It looks to us to be the type used by a captain in an old paddle or steam boat
