TOPIC: Wanted: Atwood Wheel

Hi all,
Please see my want ad. I need at a minimum a decent center emblem as sample shown below, my wheel and hub is OK BUT will purchase whole set up if that is what I need to do. My family boat resto is worth spending the $$$ to get it just right at this point.
I missed the last one on ebay as I was away....Grrrr, I hope they really needed it (!)
Any leads appreciated.

Actually, I was the winning bidder on this wheel...

There is another one on Ebay right now that looks in better condition than the one I got. Starting big is $200.00 though...

Thanks for the heads up on the listing. I'm glad you got the wheel and we did not have to bid it up against each other.
I'll watch the auction.

Randy, Good luck with your search for the wheel. The one pictured above is what Attwood called their Mariner style wheel. It was available in 5 two-tone colors, Cardinal red, Coral, Sunlite yellow, Bermuda blue & Ebony black. All were combined with ivory on the bottom.
They also had a model called the Riviera which had a clear top and bottom with either gold or silver flecks. My '61 Attwood catalog states that the center would have been standard gold or silver to match the rim but white, blue or red cneter caps were also available if specified. Here's a pic of my Riviera gold fleck one that was originally installed on my '60 Thompson.

Well, I can't seem to post the photo....

Verne,
Is there a way you can scan your catalog for us? I would really like to see it!
Thanks
Brian

I'd be happy to, but I can't seem to figure out the trick to post photos. I used to be able to, but the old methods don't seem to work now.
My catalog is a '61

Check eBay - there is one posted for $200.00 which looks very nice.
