Photochrom print of an elderly Irish woman at a spinning wheel, ca 1890-1900.Very similar to one we use as decoration in our living room, although I suppose most spinning wheels are basically identical in design.
Found at Sharp as Teeth and Stars.
Update: Different types of spinning wheels are depicted at The Woolery. A tip of the hat to kateohkatie.
Not really ;-)

Some do look similar, yeah, but some look reallllly unique too.
The mechanics are all basically the same, but the design can vary widely.
