The Gear Up bike stand # GU37010 could potentially work for your antique Penny-farthing bike. The stand will fit on tires up to 2-1/4 inches wide. The only thing is that due to the height of the big front wheel the bike could prove to be top heavy and you may need to lie something heavy across the legs of the stand. But that depends on the weight of the bike.
