Does anyone know? I saw them on ebay & elsewhere online a while ago -
like over a year - but didn't buy. Of course I am kicking myself now but heck
I hadn't even made a bear then! They seemed like a basic toy part that
would always be available, but no combination of search words is leading
me to them anywhere. See this guy, he has wheels like I want (except I would
paint them red, personally):

& here are some vintage ones from real toys, very expensive:

All I want to do is make some pull-toy critters I have seen
wooden wheels, heck even Michaels has those, but they don't give the
nice turn of the century look that I want, & the real metal spoke wheels
would look soooo handsome against a nice mohair... *sigh*

Please, can anyone help?

I get mine from a company called Cherry Tree.  Their website is www.cherrytree-online.com.  They have a pretty nice selection of wood and metal wheels, and their prices are reasonable.  Hope this helps you find what you are looking for.  Hugs, Luann
