1882 Humber Marriott & Cooper Ordinary (Frame No 1813)

 

1882 Humber Marriott & Cooper Ordinary 

52″ Wheel

Frame No 1813

(Now sold)

I’m selling this Humber Marriott & Cooper ordinary for its owner, who restored it 50 years ago. He rode it on the 1980 Silver Jubilee Century Ride. It’s not a concours type of restoration but was set up to be ridden. Its frame number 1813 can be seen on the front hub and also on the brake (and also, I assume, on other components that I didn’t notice when I photographed it). My inspection reveals a slight dent on the right side front fork; it does not show up easily in photographs and does not compromise its use. Also the brake lever has snapped off at the end. This fine machine is a little worn around the edges but is in very good all round condition. It was state-of-the-art transportation 142 years ago, and is ready to jump on and ride.
