I picked this up today, The guy I got it from has had it 30-40 years so I know its the real deal....I do want to sell it but I would like to get a fair price for it. Can anyone tell me what the true value would be on this..

A LOT!!!!! check on our search engine function, check e-bay current and completed sales....I don't remember, but think at least $2-300 smackers.....

there is one pulling 600 but the casting is finer on the base and the blimp also.

I dont think they were repoping this back 30 years ago...

It isn't one of my mine, but I agree with Mark, the base isn't like any of the originals I have had. The originals are much more hollow and have a "push point" that the caster used to push it from the sand cast, looks like someone pushed it with a dowel to remove it, and I sure don't see one there. If it's a repro, it's well made.

I’m not an expert on Schwinn or Fender Bombs but I do know that they were being reproduced in the mid 1980’s by a collector in the Seattle area (no longer living) so that would mean some repops are at least 25 years old!

The guy I got it from had it for a few years before he moved to his new shop, he moved 30 plus years ago. I paid BIG BUCKS for it so I will take it to a few swap meets and try to get some info on it
