yes i do have a 36.5 lockring ! but it's actually for an unbranded bottom bracket (that looks suspiciously like a Magistroni to me).. the funny thing is it was setup with the Campagnolo cottered crank spindle Jamie Swan mentioned.. when do these date from ? i thought they were a ca. 1960 item but i did find it on a bike i guess to be ca. 1957.

i like the turn this thread has taken now that it's become "what's the rarest Campy part you have ?"

i think mine would be a T-wrench with very early logo; the 'open C' and Brev: with the funny two-dot abbreviation symbol. hi campy shows similar wrenches on his site but they are L-shaped wrenches.. when did Campy start making tools anyway ? are these listed in the early catalogs ?
