What headset is that? Van Nuys California is just down the road from me.

probably contract produced for Campania by someone such as Tange...or Hatta...or...
Fuji cycles tended to employ Tange headsets so that would be me guess.

Can't help going by the old place 'cause stuff keeps showing up. Centurion mixte with bent bars and rear wheel.
Classic accessory for any fendered bike.
I got a shorty adjustable threadless stem and a quill adapter that fits it.

tagging on to the ref above from juvela, here's a thread with a LOT of detail pertaining to Campania and McIver, the importer in Van Nuys.
Campania “Professional” freebie
One interesting sidebar which I had missed when the thread was fresh: TMar mentioned the serial number format matched what some of the JP-made Bianchis used. Since Campania has some very clear associations with Fuji, this kind of makes me wonder...

Thank you!
Had been thinking all Campania were Fuji produced.
If there are other providers are you familiar with them?

Couple year back the forum had a post from a member who had worked at the Van Nuys facility doing assembly.
Perhaps they shall have information to contribute...

Forum member noobinsf has knowledge of the quality Campania models; may have some information to share.

Returning to the "Van Nuys" headset -
its locknut is the same pattern as that of the Tange model MA60, one of the reasons suspect Tange as the maker

Spring bike sale in Lowell MA
I haven't been to the Bike Connector in a good while but I see they've been busy fixing up a good number of their warehouse bikes for a spring sale. March 15, 16, 18, 19, from 10 to 4. Details and pictures here.
If you've never been, this is right downtown, steps from Lowell HS, which means parking is a challenge at all times, and the street gets shut down to regular traffic when school lets out.
