Vintage Chrome Fork
I recently acquired quite a number of vintage bike components and tools. Among the items is a beautiful chrome fork. I am going to assume that the fork has been used but it is in wonderful condition. I am quite certain it is Reynolds 531 as I can see that faintly through the chrome - it also has Campagnolo fork ends. I have no need for this at this time. I would like to sell it and would welcome your thoughts on a fair value.

It appears to be for a small frame limiting the value for selling. Unknown crown race size and length of fork stays also limit values. Here in Bloomington, IN it would have a value of $30-$40.

I have checked the fork carefully and see no indication that it is bent in any way. I looks great! I would love to use the fork but I ride much larger frames.
