I just did that this morning and found the #1102 bicycle assembly stand in Campy catalogs starting in 1967 up until 1971. Then it's not in their catalogs after that. And it wasn't in their 1950s catalogs. In these catalogs it's a drawing of the stand or a print of a drawing. It's possible the same drawing carried over from year to year. There are no stickers/decals on the stand in any of the catalogs as far as I can see. They could have still been put on the stands I think maybe by Campy even, but maybe as a final step before shipping. Again, I hope someone who has better knowledge of these stands will see this and tell us. Someone who worked at Campy back in the day maybe. Also if we could date the decal/sticker style that might be a useful clue. If the sticker only existed during a certain time frame and the stand came from that era that might indicate they did apply them?<br />It's a fun mystery!

I haven't seen enough of these to be able to determine if stickers/decals were applied to them at the factory or if mechanics did it to them after they bought them. I also haven't see any catalog pictures of the stand showing the stickers. But that could just be how they chose to take the photo or draw the illustration if it was a drawing. Hopefully someone who knows will see your question and tell us and I'll keep trying to find out too. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Jim LangleyJim Langleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184699406623972210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752457184418512360.post-7304636877578784712023-06-19T08:45:28.395-07:002023-06-19T08:45:28.395-07:00Hey Jim,

My stand has two Campagnolo decals, one is 2” below the clamp and the other is 2” below where the bottom bracket shell is held. I have seen a few stands with these decals in photos but most don’t. Do you believe that the decals came off at some point or were there stands that Campagnolo didn’t use the decals? Just curious.<br /> Thanks , WWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752457184418512360.post-66373051679228806902021-01-23T23:31:19.931-08:002021-01-23T23:31:19.931-08:00Does anyone have a campagnolo 1102 stand and would...Does anyone have a campagnolo 1102 stand and would like to sell it? :)<br />my e-mail: stareszosy@o2.plAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764623811156157777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752457184418512360.post-54144689642889390272020-09-13T16:21:38.029-07:002020-09-13T16:21:38.029-07:00Make it 21 - v coolMake it 21 - v coolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175163970079206201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752457184418512360.post-29589323859193613162020-08-10T07:03:08.866-07:002020-08-10T07:03:08.866-07:00Hi Jim,

Value depends on the condition of the ...Hi Martin, <br />Value depends on the condition of the stand. If all the original parts are there and the stand is in nice condition (no significant rust, no paint chips, everything functions, leather padding is there, etc.), I would put the value at no less than $500 and up to $1,000 (USA dollars). And the owner could ask even more. My stand was about $650.<br /><br />Vintage Campagnolo tools have held their value and fetch high prices still. This stand is one of their nicest tools in my opinion. If the stand is associated with a famous team or mechanic or racer, to me that would add value.<br /><br />So, for example, if it was legendary USA mechanic Bill Woodul's Campy stand (I trained under Bill) and it could be identified as his stand, I bet collectors who knew Bill would be willing to pay more money for it. If anyone's interested, here's the facebook page for Bill https://www.facebook.com/groups/61477030188/<br /><br />It's hard to judge how big the demand is. I can say that less than 20 people have contacted me about Campy stands since I first wrote about them approximately 15 years ago. They find my writing doing a google search and contact me. That could be the tip of the iceberg or that could be the only 20 people out there interested, I don't know for sure. <br /><br />But I do know that interest in vintage road bikes continues thanks to events like Eroica https://eroica.cc/ that celebrate vintage road bikes and riding them. The Campy stand is a wonderful thing to use to tune your Masi or Cinelli, etc. at these events. It also works as a magnificent display stand for a fine steel road machine at an event and at home. Plus, they still perform as a bicycle repair stand if you want to use them that way (and why not?).<br /><br />Overall, I think you'll be able to find a buyer who will appreciate your stand and I would expect you can get a fair price for it, too. I hope this is helpful and thank's for the comment. By the way, a good place to post a Campy repair stand for sale is on facebook's vintage road bike group pages, where you reach people who love everything retro.<br /><br />Jim LangleyJim Langleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184699406623972210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752457184418512360.post-21599949408158768132020-08-09T03:09:33.788-07:002020-08-09T03:09:33.788-07:00Hi nice story,
