I have been watching this French seller's auctions for a long while. Always very nice items, and often quite rare pieces from the 1940s & 50s.

His photos are typically small in format, but also very clear and well presented - proving you do NOT need massive screen size images to clearly show an item.

My hat is off to him!

Just very curious if anyone is acquainted with this gent. Did he own a bike shop? Was he a former pro mechanic? Perhaps just a long time collector? Maybe simply someone with discriminating taste, now selectively picking through local flea markets?

Here are a few examples of recently ended auctions (and sample photos):
