Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Mahatma Gandhi's
spinning wheel sold for £110,000.
Why is a spinning
wheel priced this much? Well, this famous wooden device was used by the famous
leader to spin thread and make his own clothes when he was imprisoned about 80
years ago. It isn’t the larger fixed one that you might have seen in the movie
or video as he used it in jail.
Such famous or
great persons’ belongings, used or produced items are highly valued by
collectors around the world. Once they are sold, they are usually added to
their collections but in some cases, shown to the public eyes in the museums.
How much would you
value for this particular portable spinning wheel?
Enjoy reading and
learning about this highly valued wooden device.
You may also be interested in seeing this
video, though the guy spinning a portable wheel is another Gandhi, not Mahatma,
which shows you what and how a man could kill time during imprisonment.
