A first for me.

Finally started on a Moto Grand Record that's been in the queue for awhile. Working on the components I got around to the handlebar, pulled the cloth tape, bar plugs and levers off and was getting ready to soak it in solvent to loosen the glue when I noticed an object down the tube, something off the bar plug I thought. Fished it out - no, it's not from the bar plug. I've found assorted loose hardware floating around in frames and once a bunch of dead wasps in the bottom bracket shell. But this is a new one on me - at least it appears unused (I hope). The tape and plugs looked original but maybe not so possibly someone re-taping the bars did this as a private joke or in case he/she got lucky on the road. Or maybe it's a good luck talisman, no clue. But no doubt it's been in there a long time.
