Wood rim Unicycle

-

Phattiremike

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I found a Unicycle yesterday, it's in extremely great condition. There is no badge but sports a seat called The Christy 1895. As I looked over the unicycle there on both sides of the wooded rim's hub it's marked 1886 Overland ????? Boston USA but also marked but can not find reference it says "Bolus Aeolus"?? I could be reading that incorrectly. Tires are Goodyear and say for 26” rim. See attached pictures what do I have is it rare?

Thanks Mike

If it's any help, that looks like 'Bowis', which is the last name of some people and 'Aeolus' is a mythological greek god dude, like, the wind guy or somtin.
 
that is an awesome find!
