Here's a Rare one .
Spotted this at todays Whittier Bike Swap meet . CORRADINI ,since 1909 . Never seen or heard of this brand. Top quality Italian bicycle though . Full Campy with sew ups .
According to the Seller ,Many years ago his father ran a Professional Automobile racing team , one of his drivers was an Italian Racer .At the end of the Racing season , his father received this bike in the mail delivered from Italy as a Thank You from his Italian driver . A lot of Patina but it looked in good structural condition .

interesting to note that while kitting is with a NGS road ensemble the machine's headset is R/NR
this suggests it may have been originally sold as a frameset with headset installed
perhaps assembled into a cycle at the retail shop or consumer level...
