Any help with this stem would be awesome. No markings at all other then the "Made In Italy" decal.
It came on the '61 Legnano I just bought but not what should be on it, so I don't think I am going to keep it.
Thanks,
Cory

I'd agree it is a Cinelli stem. Check out this page from Velobase:

You can make out the same label on the last stem pictured.
Not as valuable as one with a painted badge, but worth at least a sizable chunk of what you paid for the Legnano it came on.

Wow, what a drop! I agree with the above. Nice condition too. That rust should disappear in a heartbeat.
