Featured Lot:
Very unique and rare (possibly only one in the world) high wheel with leading and trailing dual steering. 28" wheel, wooden rims with 12" wheels. Retains tapered wooden handle bars, very unusual "band" brake, wood and metal frame. Auctioneers note: many years ago when we were dispersing the Pope Manufacturing Co. reference library I saw this machine in one of the bound volumes. I remember it as being created in a mid-west college for hearing impaired students. I copied the information and sent it to David. Very rare machine. Very good condition. David Metz Museum.
