Geared Steering Wheel, Patent Model
ca 1875
Nothing is known about this steering-wheel model. It is presumed to be a patent model because of its size, but its inventor and date are unknown. It is similar to many geared steering arrangements used on fishing boats and yachts from about the 1860s into the turn of the 1900s.
