Frame

9006

Untraced

An order for a whole bicycle: the other-details box reads “Building complete cycle see list PDQ.”, though no list survives with this sheet. Delivery promised “4 WEEKS”, underlined twice, with “22 June?” written beneath it; the deposit line holds only a dash. The A.K. seat lug is marked “YES”, a pencil scribble sits above the printed title, and “531c” is pencilled at the head. The street name is read as Mooresholm Drive but could as easily be Moorsholm.
