Clearing out stuff on a farm, found this old Humber lady's bike, rusty and not a lot to write home about but not seen forks like this before, quite unusual:

Maybe sell to a beardy East London hipster for a fortune, keeping the authentic patina?

Common Wheel in Glasgow has a Humber with those - it's lovely to ride...

Don’t skip it. That’s the sort of thing that Drew Pritchard would pay money for and sell to someone for a mint.
