ANTIQUE PROSPECT WHEELMEN, N.N.Y. BICYCLING SOCIETY SASH NEW YORK H177

This is a rare cycling souvenir from around 1900. The oldest patent date listed on the paper tags indicates 1896. The Library of Congress has an article from June 27, 1896 that lists the Prospect Wheelmen as some 1000's of riders in a parade from Prospect Park to Coney Island. Perhaps the sash is from this event or something similar. The ribbon is black and orange, with the black appearing brown from some angles. The ribbon is wrinkled and has some small pin holes, perhaps where other items were attached. It will be shipped folded.

length: ~35" of doubled ribbon
