Please read important details be...low for further information.
I have struggled to find out too much about these items and how the collection has been put together. From research and the nature of the items I believe that they date to the early part of the 20th century, 1910-20s, possibly some a little earlier/later. They originally would of been transfers produced on backing paper and applied on to the new bicycle and from there it would not of been possible to remove. I believe these items have been collected as transfers (before being applied to the bike) and then at a much later date the collection has been transferred from the backing paper on to plastic to be laminated and displayed. This leads to the question how come there are so many different types, many of which are incredibly rare, or may not even of actually been produced (I can find no record of some of them on the internet). I can only assume that these have been collected as transfers by somebody who worked at the factory that produced the stickers for the bicycle manufactures. Then at a much later date either they, or a relative, laminated them to both protect and display them. If you can add anything to this or believe any information to be incorrect please feel free to tell me.
COMBINED POSTAGE UK
I have listed this item with standard Royal Mail 48 postage but have also offered more secure "Signed for" and "Special Delivery" options, if they sell well I would suggest you to opt for one of these more secure options. If you purchase more than one lot I will only invoice with the 2 secure options. However the cost of these 2 secure options will not be increased from that listed whether you purchase 1 or 100 items.
COMBINED POSTAGE OUTSIDE UK
I really am not sure how well these are going to sell but there is every chance that they could sell very well indeed. As a result I have listed these with secure and insured "International Tracked and Signed" postage outside the UK, however if you purchase more than one there will be NO additional postage and if it does sell less than £15 I can remove £5 from the shipping price.
