Cyclops 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's, etc...vintage stuff!

[sverige]

Hi guys,

Ok, I know this has nothing WHATSOEVER to do with VMX and I have sneakily hijacked hubby's Ozvmx username but I was hoping...

Is there anyone in VMX land who has in their shed (behind the motorbikes of course) an old pedal car, tricyle, scooter etc (especially Cyclops ones) that they might wish to sell on or offload?  I had a look in Roger Harvey's CD7 book and saw that nifty little vintage bicycle (page 12 and again on page 37) so I got to thinking...

I like to do these toys up just for my little girls (much the same as you guys, just the toys are a bit different!) and I use the molasses method (which I learnt on Ozvmx!).  This is my way of keeping a bit of the Aussie history alive for those down the track.

Old magazine ads of these toys would be great too!

Please let us know if you'd be able to help in this regard.  I realise that I might not get any replies but it'd be great if you could help us out.  Thanks in advance!

I have an old scooter I got for $25 at the local swap stall.
Happy to exchange for a Maico 490 if you have one.

Sorry Luke,
Haven't got one of those in the shed just now!  See what I can dig up at the local markets, eh?
Cheers.
