Rough Value

Post by NTE »

Does anyone know an approx value of a Braithwaite bicycle. The National Cycle Museum have dated it 1900 -1908. It has been repainted but has all original components and is excellent condition. Thanks in advance

Probably what you get. Historical value can vary so much.

Get the National Cycle Museum to value it.

If you are looking to sell, you could contact https://tc-auctions.com/ . They have auctions of vintage cycles & cycling memorabilia from time to time. I have never sold with them but a dozen years back I bought at one of their auctions & they seemed straightforward to deal with.

The National Cycle Museum don't do valuations, it's part of our policy.

As has been said above, it is a particularly difficult thing to do.
Rarity, condition, provenance. As has been suggested, a specialist auction house would be your best bet.
TC Auctions are long established and have a good reputation.
And you will probably find that the valuation is between x and y with quite a big gap.

It is not 'worth' anything. It is an old steel repainted sit up and beg bicycle!
