The Fools Gold

_AUCTION IS STARTED_

super beautiful all hand made by a local artist who made the trophies two years in a row for “Le Tour de France” - won both years by LANCE ARMSTRONG - ( sterling silver and 18ct. gold plated silver) miniature 1/20 scale BICYCLE (called The WHIPPET, manufactured by Linley & Biggs in London around 1887) A REAL JEWEL PIECE OF ART. He makes scale models of different antique bicycles and cannons. All parts of the bicycle are made one by one like the real ones and require around 500 hours of work. All parts are in working operation. The brake really works, the pedals turn, the bench goes down when you put pressure on it….etc…. considering the work involved, the reserve is $8,500.00 — This is one of the most expensive one, but some of his work sold for over $10,000.00
