Item Condition

I grade products as honestly as possible and depict blemishes in both description and photos—please study them carefully. I tend to be overcritical and customers report items to be in better shape than expected often. From best condition to worst condition, my grading scale is as follows. Mint / near mint+ / near mint / excellent+ / excellent / great / very good / average / fair.

Description

This neat decoration is a model of a late 1800's or early 1900's Penny Farthing bicycle.  These monsterous machines were the first wheeled devices to be called a "bicycle".  They had numerous nicknames, including Ordinary, High Wheeler, and Bone Shaker.  They pre-dated the "safety bicycle", and were inherently dangerous to ride.  Mark Twain has a famous quote he coined after he took lessons to ride one; "Ride a bicycle.  You won't regret it, if you live"

This model is self standing and stationary.  Great for your mantle or bike shelf!

Excellent shape, hardly a mark

I'm always buying high end bikes, parts, accessories, memorabilia, etc. While I'm particularly seeking large piles of new old stock parts, used items in nice condition are welcome.
