What can I say? The kind of person looking at bidding on these plates know exactly what they are looking at.
These plates came from the Roberts Big Wheel set which was advertised for sale in 1967. Up until this point we were not sure if they ever made it to distribution. Well at least that question has been answered here but how long they were in distribution is a mystery as no other plates have resurfaced i...n over 50 years.
These plates are being sold “as is” shown in this ad as these are the exact plates you will receive. The rubber bumper is missing as shown but I’d imagine it wouldn’t be difficult for a collector to have something made pretty easily to replace those if so desired. I didn’t attempt to clean these up outside of just cleaning them with a little degreaser. So you will get them as I found them. The accessory pancake plates for this set are fairly common. The bar and collars are more difficult to find. I’ve seen the same type bar out there but I’ve never seen the collars surface.
Anyway. Happy bidding and if you have any questions please reach out to me. I know these will land in the right hands with this approach to be admired on display somewhere. I’ll ship these with tracking and insurance. Thank you for looking.
