Offering a rare and wonderful piece of turn-of-the-century bicycling equipment, evoking the whimsy....and practicality....of the 1890's Cycling world. It is a Willbro (of) Norwich iron bicycle stand, featuring a beautifully-cast, double-headed Lion base, complete with finely articulated clawed feet, sure to frighten away any potential bike thief....and delight everyone else. This beautifully-made stand is complete in every way although the small wing nut which secures the position front wheel stay (the wiry-looking part) does not have the paint of all other pieces (it does share the same style and has a patina, however). Overall condition is excellent with no cracks or damage of any kind. Note: the stand's two main sections are held together with a single large wing nut and will be separated to crate a smaller and more compact parcel, more immune to damage. Base's footprint is about 11 1/2 x 8 1/2" and the stand is about 20 1/2" tall.
