That's a grindng stone that's had a lot of use! Originally it would have been as large as the enclosure that is holding it. For those who don't know, the metal enclosure is filled with water which lubricates and cools the wheel as it turns. This one is hand operated with a crank. Many were operate with a foot treadle.
Great find! Great shot. Cal Rasmussen |
