Charles Nighbor pointed out the following:

"On Ebay, ITALIAN SERIE MOZZI ACCIAIO "FB STEEL" HUBS NIB Item number: 6503921364. Another bike item I never heard of."

This is not the first pair of these hubs that this seller has sold. The first time around, they were incorrectly sold as 1930's FB hubs. Had they truly been 1930's hubs, the price offered would have been somewhat understandable, but for low end hubs from the 50's or more likely 60's, the 85 pounds sterling price is, in my opinion, rather inflated. These would have been used on low-end Italian city bikes.

If you want to see a true 1930-40's vintage FB hub logo check out the photo of my hub at: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Miscellaneous_items/FB_early_logo and then compare this to what may be the oldest known Campagnolo hub logo: http://www1.ocn.ne.jp/~campa/newpage8.htm
