Title: Indian Motorcycle Lenaerts of Belgium Carnival Ride
Post by: mygoose101 on November 18, 2015, 09:32:01 pm
Does anyone have a value idea of this item? From the 1950's and it's a carnival ride. Made by Lenaerts of Belgium. From what I've gathered from the internet only 500 units were made. Looks like it's 1/2 scale. It's a really sharp piece. Fully restored. Just hoping to find a value on it. Thanks.

Very cool. Any idea where it came from carnival or amusement park wise? That tends to impact the price as I have seen with Coney Island, Great Adveture, etc in my area.
