This item was found in Lake Erie in an area where i believe that old ships were scrapped or turned in to barges.THE DRUM AND HEAD WERE NOT REMOVED FROM A SHIPWRECK ! The rachett  and pawl mechanism is missing,along with the base so there is no movement of the drum when the head is turned. The head is attached to the drum by a piece of pipe attached to the bottom of the tabletop and passed  through the center of the head. while not a working capstan,it will still make a nice addtion to a nautical collection It is about 31" high. The table top is about 33' in diameter. I do not have a weight for this item but it is HEAVY! Place a Bid!
