Horoscope Wheel

6/30/2016

 
I love this wheel! Who wouldn't? I'm a sucker for that color combination. This is in pristine condition and was copyrighted in 1932. It has a button on the center rather than a grommet. And it's just over nine inches wide.

Now, here's the downside: I don't think this possesses the mechanical quality of seemingly lesser wheels. It's operation just isn't that clever. Maybe I'm being too harsh on it. What do you think?

One of the fun things about this zodiac wheel is the lists of famous people who were born under each sign. Mine has Otto Von Bismarck! For me, though, this wheel's appeal lays almost entirely in its graphic design. I think it's just beautiful. Just based on its looks, this might be my favorite wheel of all. Plus it was sold by Horoscope Sales Co.! I wonder if they're still in business?
