Look Ma, No Hands!
I am assisting an organization to reduce their holdings and this 50" open head Columbia high wheel is available. The photos do it justice for its condition. It has most likely not been ridden for 15-20 years and has been in a small, non-bicycle museum in Ohio
. The (not-original) rubber looks nearly new and the spokes and nickeling are pretty clean.
The grips appear to be 'hand made' by someone in the past (easily replaced) and the bolts/nuts holding the pedal rubber are not original.
It is too small for me, or I would consider it.
The museum staff is thinking in the $4K region. Please PM me for contact info for you to deal directly with the museum.

The museum staff is open for offers. I didn't make that clear in my original post.
And, honestly, I would be interested in this but I need a 58" or 56".
