Hi, Can anybody help me out with any info on this crank I found? It is rather striking looking: sort of Art Deco or Nouveau. It is a cotter pin style road crank made of chromed steel. It is a double with 46 and 49 toothed rings. The face of the rings have 3 herons or cranes or ducks pressed into them. The back of the chain rings have an E and a small sword looking logo with a B with-in it and then a W stamped into them, below that is AY and 46 on one 49 on the other. It has light surface rust on it, but I don't think it has ever been used. I also have a majorly dropped road stem of the same make, like maybe a track stem that drops in a curve about 2-3 inches below 90 degrees, along with this are drop bars. I also have pedals that seem to be of the same make. I find this stuff interesting because it seems to definitely be for racing from some earlier era, any body know when? Or any other info about this stuff? Any Value to anyone?
