TOC Bicycle as freight

[filmonger]

It is quite interesting when you study the Crate.

Pictures are from the cabe member who bought it - American Vinatge Bicycle Supply. Luck man...and it looks like he found a featherstone to put in it! How cool is that!

Saw an episode on American Pickers where Mike Wolf found a TOC bicycle crate in tack with markings and bought it for $300 saying the crates can be valued nearly as much as the bikes that came in them.

They sold me that crate for $100.

So I tracked down a Featherstone and am putting the 2 together.

This is how they would pack wood rims in the day....they would use rim 2nds at the bottom and top tp make a crate with singers in the side. Simple and effective.

That's great! I love seeing my photos up here. Makes me feel proud! I still have the wheel crate. It is now a table that holds a jig for mfg stems
