Hey there, classic-ophiles Thanks to John Jorgenson for the tip on the Masi dealer sign. I held it up to a VERY strong light and sho'nuff, it's says:
"Exclusive ...(Masi)....Dealer" in very dark type
so I will correct my ebay listing.
and I did discover the gear card so I put that up for auction as well. and a couple of Milano issued badge decals as well.
I would be totally embarrassed to tell you what we did with the multiple rolls of 2" "Masi Carlsbad" packing tape (that you mentioned) I came away with. <sigh> I could sell that by the foot and really retire.
Grazie, Ricardo
Oh, and this just in. My pal Russ B has a "Masi California" period wool ss jersey ( he reports one very small hole) that he would like me to sell for him since he hasn't the time. Stay tuned. I think it's a 4 but maybe a 5. Now my memory is really fuzzy. Didn't hey ship a jersey with each bike for a while? or who did do that?
