Auction house Mullock's specialist Richard Westwood Brookes said, “This would have been one of Gandhi's most prized possessions as he devised the workings of it himself.
The charkha was used by him in Yerwada Jail whilst fighting for the rights and independence of India.
It has impeccable provenance and is unquestionably the most important Gandhi artifact we have ever had for sale.”
Mullock's will auction over 60 Gandhi-related artifacts.
