Alisdair Report post Posted June 16, 2018 Hi Guys, I just scored this sweet Flammery Mayer pricking wheel. As I understand it, Flammery Mayer was a foreman at Blanchard, and took off one day with their designs and client list! Looking at this item, I can definitely see the Blanchard design in there.There are 5 nice wheels, and I'm looking to buy more- I reckon I'll buy a Vergez Blanchard size 6 and size 9 to complete this set (size 10, 12, 14, 16 + another).

jimi Report post Posted June 16, 2018 nice one! so where does it sat flammery on it? I am about to pick one up for cheap but aint got a clue who has made it. it looks like the ball on yours has the screw on the lid instead of it being in the handle??

Alisdair Report post Posted June 16, 2018 Yep the Ball is screwed on in the opposite direction to the Vergez Blanchard ones. The Flamery Mayer stamp is on the front end: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alisdair Report post Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Just a photo from above, where you can see it's a bit bent - dunno in the previous owner used it to hammer a nail or to beat his goat, but it still works fine! Edited June 21, 2018 by Alisdair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimi Report post Posted June 21, 2018 looks like it was brazed there?? or is it supposed to be a smooth transition?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think so...I think that the seller was a bit over-zealous in cleaning the brass, and cleaned part of the steel in the process. I'll just wait another 20 years or so for the colour of the steel to go back to normal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimi Report post Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) I have not seen any like that before, that is why i wondered if it had been fixed?? never saw the lid with the screw in it either?? as long as it does the job then that is the main thing, right.
