Found this in a used book
Picked up some used books yesterday and found this folded in one of them.

Early effort from mega corporation Prestige Worldwide
|
Suitable for framing! :)
|
Lasted longer than the item itself.
|
Nice find...always kind of cool to come across something that you totally do not expect...
|
Cool find. That has been misplaced for decades and now found by someone who could truly appreciate it. Amazing.

cool. I'm assuming the used book was bicycle related?
|
I have the same paperwork from the front derailleur! If we put them together, they might be worth...well, never mind.

Sloar has been finding some pretty cool stuff lately. I got 3 old 70's catalogs from him a month ago that are really cool. Price list in one of them only, which is really like stepping back in time. Neat stuff.
Thanks again, Sloar. |

It would be really amazing if a C&V member found that in a non-bicycle related book.

I recently purchased a used copy it the wheel building book by Jobst Brandt, and inside there was a bookmark with writing on it. It was from a grandfather with loving words to his grandson, of encouragement. Essentially to keep going and not give up. There was more too. I imagine that those words were comforting to the receiver, as well they were to me. I'm keeping that bookmark. (Of course they could have just been words of encouragement to a frustrated apprentice wheel builder).
Thats an interesting find. I would definitely keep that - maybe frame it, and if you have or could find one of those Derailleurs you could mount the two in a curio box for display in your bike cave. |
That is a great find! Sometimes it is the little things like that that are the fun of it all.
|
It actually was in a non-cycling book. other than the folds and a little yellow tint, it looks new. Rootboy I'm glad you like those books.
