   I have just come into posession of my grandfather’s pedal powered grinding wheel and wonder if there’s a market for these or if I should just plan on keeping it for a conversation piece. It looks exactly like the one in the photo except it it red. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks

   Hi, if you are interested in selling, what price would you be asking? John

   This is almost identical to one my Grandfather had. I’ve waited 25 years for this to become available and
   now it goes to an in-law family member instead. If this would be for sale, please contact me. Although,
   I’m not sure how you would do that.

    Hello. I have a stone that originally was pedal-powered but was changed to electric in the 20’s. It came from a farmin Iowa and the entire thing is built with heavy wood and an old Emerson Electric motor. The wheel is 18 5/8 by 2 5/8 and is in perfect condition. I used it to sharpen my tools but want to sell it now. The wheel is mounted to an old Hobart food processor bevel gear arm and turns at about 60-80rpm. It is heavy, probably 250lbs. I have pictures, please contact me at 1oregonjake@willamette.net and I will send you pictures. I want to sell it soon as I am back in college and need tuition money. Thanks.

    Who has a pedal wheel grindstone bike like those pictured in either the Dallas TX area or the Hot Springs AR area for $100-$150 range. I currently live in TX but own farm in AR and trying to get moved up there ASAP. My grandfather ran a sorghum mill on the property so there were grinding stones on the property for that, but they have already been raided from the property by other family members. I am also looking for a replacement 1930’s galvanized well bucket 10gal. with the loop in the bail that the chain went through that someone stole from my parent’s dug well site. I’d consider $30-50 for that if it’s not rusted. Mine was in very good shape, not rusted and not bent at the rim or seat or bail. Thanks
