Antique Cyclometer

I found this in the box of keys I got the other day . I had one back in the 70's on my bike . When I first looked at it I figured it was from the 70's - nope , This one is Pat'd Jan. 9 , 1889 . There are some on Worthpoint , but I don't have a subscription .

Cool. Now that is something you don’t see every day.

These eyes see Jan. 3, 1888.

Amazing becuase it appears half the bicycles in that era were penny farthing....the rest being rudimentary /early conventional style bicycles. Nice find!

I had one in the 70's also but didn't look like that.

Cool find.
