Vintage Holdsworth Tandem and Old Claud Butler Tandems
I have 2 Old Tandems (A Claud Butler Majestic 2 and a vintage holdsworth) currently located in the South Of France which I need to Sell. They belonged to my late father in law. I am trying to ascertain if there is a market for these items and how I should go about selling them. Also, any advice on couriering them them back from France would be much appreciated.

Those are beautiful.
I won't pretend to help you with value, or what the market might be, there or back here.
But it sure will be expensive to get tham back to the US.
I would consider selling them in France.

HOLY CRAP,TANDEM GRAIL ALERT! Those are stunning, do not let them go until you fully understand the possible value which should/could be very high. It may be a challenge to find the right buyers for these and may take some time, but these are very desirable to the right people especially if they are custom. I would encourage you to find out any information that you can from your family and see if there is any paperwork as well. I would also reach out to Holdsworth and give them the serial number, they may be able to tell you more about it. Very sorry for your loss. You can honor the memory by learning how special these are and understanding the motivation behind these coming to be.
