Old head badges
Hey does anyone here know if there is a good place to purchase old frame badges? I am looking for a nishiki one but any info would be useful. Google search did not give me much in terms of actually buying one. I secretly would like to start collecting them

When I first got into collecting vintage road bicycles, I started a head badge collection. But to no avail. I still have a box of head badges kicking around somewhere and I know there is at least one Nishiki head badge there. The trick is finding the darn box. I will see if I can run across it.
Why did I stop collecting head badges? Could not decide what I was going to do with them once I had them.

No sekine badges on ebay, contacted randyjawa about it before since he told me about it in my sekine thread and never got an answer (i know he is busy but 6 months for a email reply is long 
)

I need a 1990 Trek head badge for my 1990 Trek 950. Per the web this one was silver and black. A large"T" with diagonals from upper right to lower left across the T. The diagonals are wider at the bottom left and taper as they go up to the upper right.
I temporarily have a "Old Belgium" beer bike head badge installed. They were giving them away recently at the local "Earth Day" festivities.

Puchultima can probably get you a nice NOS or lightly used CAPO headbadge.
