Wait!
Hold the boat/phone,
I was moving the one stand that’s being employed and found the model number in the usual place on the clamp receiver!
I had rags and some tubes draped over the model number decal!
It’s a PRS-13!
Much information was found on the Park Tool site!
I’ve written for more information; price, years made, how many were made…
They have the Extreme Clamp installed in the picture, but show a much earlier clamp in the parts section: so maybe Park Tool did make it for more than one year… I’ll keep y’all posted!

Is it your stand? It looks like someone took a bike shop quality Park stand and attached it to some kind of cart. Was that you? I'm pretty sure Park never sold such a thing, but I do vaguely remember seeing one on a cart before. Park stands have been attached to a lot of things. Possibly the most common is a trailer hitch.

!!!
I brought 60-70 bicycles with me from up north!
Most had been maintained for company to ride and just need refreshening.
Riding is different down here in Fl.
No hills!
I don’t wanna ride 20-30 miles from home.
I’m used to blowing everything up on the hills!
A lot of the bikes I am working on done at their homes.
My shops have always been kept clean and organized at least for the pictures!

Also, most of my bicycles were one owner, barn, garage, basement, shed finds!
I did pest control on upscale homes and these were forgotten bicycles from past years!
A forgotten, original owner Motobecane found in an old, forgotten part of a beautiful estate…
The same Motobecane above after just washing it off with a hose at my home! Greased and lubed everything and rode it without having to adjust any gears or brakes! I still have it here in Fl.!
Garage and barn finds! I have taken bicycles that have not been ridden for 20-30 years out of bedrooms!
Lot’sa nice stuff here! What isn’t presented here is the surplus stuff that came with these treasures…;tools, extra parts, riding clothing, wheels, tires, take offs after upgrades, etc.! So much fun!
I sold’em. I passed’em out. They more than paid for my, “hobby!”…

Back in 2008, I went to Bilenky’s shop for a minor modification to a rear rack that I needed to retrofit to my new touring bike. I remember thinking that some people might have second thoughts about ordering a custom bike if they first saw the place. Total organized chaos.
I got the work done in no time, got a tour of the shop and was offered some pastry. They initially refused to take any money. When I insisted, Simon said “Give me $9.” I opened my wallet to find exactly a five and four ones. So you can say the place took me for everything I had at the time.
