Specialites T.A. Zephyr Right Crank Arm
I bought a box of parts from someone in Boston over the weekend and it included this pristine Zephyr right crank arm with mounting bolts. It is in pristine condition and it looks like it was mounted on a spindle but a pedal was not installed so it was never used. The mounting hardware is exceptionally clean and it looks as if chainrings were never installed. It has a length of 167.5mm , is BSC and marked J7. I have scoured the internet and only found one full crankset on eBay for comparison at $249. There are some references to the Zephyr in various blogs but little to go on.
Wanted to give my fellow BF mates the first crack at it. What do you think this might be worth?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think this is worth much. Orphan crank arms are a tough sell since you'll likely end up with mismatched arms. Plus this is an odd ball length at 167.5. It's not something too many people are looking for to complete a vintage bike.

Hard sell not many buyers for just one arm considering great condition of bolts $25 for the crank and bolts Or $20 for the prestine bolts and spacers as set with a fairly easy sale.
