Value is in the eye of the beholder, of course. Beloved Spouse gave me a mounted frame of these, and one of motorcars. I trust she paid much less. Most of the bikes in my set are pre-1900, of weird and wonderful types that did not survive the end-of-Cretaceous extinctions when autos came to rule the world. The crafting is very nice, and I've enjoyed everything about them, except knowing that they were manufactured to promote the sale of cigarettes. Probably another item our heirs can fight over - who has to take them. :-)
