As far as I know it's the winged fob that says Bastian Bros. The X fob is plain on the back ... Perry ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Look for the words Bastian Bros. cast on the back. They show up about once a year on eBay. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- The only provenance on this is that I got it from John Giorno , Kenosha, one of the first members of the AMCA. It was in a showcase along with many other rare items that i purchased in the mid 80's. It is gorgeous. Dave Scherk thinks it was made in the early 50's. I don't know. It could be an original 1920's that was never abused. There is no hallmark or stamp on the back as Harley fobs had. There were original items next to it from the early 1900's in equally stunning condition so who knows. Cloisonee and detailing are perfect. You will not be disappointed. asking 300 measly American greenbacks postpaid anywhere. |
