I always get a good feeling when finding these paraphernalia items. Tim _________________ Everything has a cycle   Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:07 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California That item is from a bike shop (likely called "Mons Cycles") in the capital of Dept. 66 in France. The city name is Perpignan. The "department" (or county) is located near the Spanish border on the Mediterranean. It is called "Pyrenees-Orientales". _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 4:24 pm greyhundguy Joined: 09 Apr 2008 Posts: 678 Location: South-Central VIRGINIA sandranian wrote: That item is from a bike shop (likely called "Mons Cycles") in the capital of Dept. 66 in France.

So, no tellin' when it dates to then. Key ring findings (parts) like this have been made for decades. Seller said 1960's.

Makes for a good ornament. Would also make for a good wax stamp (in reverse) for sealing envelopes. _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com HAPPY GITANEIDAYS!!!     gitaneusa.com Forum Index » Vintage Gitane You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 8 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Gitane USA----------------Vintage GitaneGitane RacingModern GitanePro Racing - Classics/Giro/Tour....Owner Gallery   Powered by phpBB © 2001-2004 phpBB Group Designed for Trushkin.net | Themes Database.
