1880s Ordinary (Penny Farthing)

Patent No 3531 (1887)

52″ Wheel

16″ Rear wheel

(Now sold)

This is an 1880s ordinary in good all round condition. When my customer bought it 20 years ago in an auction, its description stated that it had a patent number 3531 showing on it, which is from 1887.

The pedals and saddle are later, adapted to fit. The saddle spring is interesting. We don’t know the maker.
