This fob is in absolutely new condition. I have had it for 15 years having aquired it from the large John Giorno collection (AMCA member since 1954!) The cloisonne and detailing are magnificent which would make me think it is not that old. I do not know but "Rat" told me it could be one of a batch made in the early 50's for the original Shwinn company. Whatever ,it is beautiful and $300 plus shipping will buy it! Barry 1-613-273-5036
