Auction Sale - Manton & Smith Golden Zephyr

[Kato]

Just watched this sell at auction - killer Manton & Smith Golden Zephyr Bicycle
I ran my bid up to where I felt comfortable but the selling price took off - Sold for $1600 + 10% to 20% premium
Always interesting to see where these go / end up - hopefully / maybe a Cabe'r got it ???

That's what I thought on the carrier - more regular style chain guard than others that I've seen but I think it was correct based on badging of the bike.
If I'd have had a couple of mine sold that I've been dragging my feet on selling I would have a better run at it.....but still probably not enough of one.

Wow, what auction, is there more or better pictures on there?, mine is also sold from Western Tire Auto Store but a Silver shield badge, had no rack when I got it so been looking for that rack for years, put the othe rack I've seen in M&S ads but would still like to see a Western Tire Auto Store ad, anyone?

rarest rack in the hobby.

I got a Colson tube rack to trade for a M & S tube rack.
