EBAY FIND, AUTHENTIC VINTAGE VESPA CLUB BADGES AND PENNANTS
If you follow our blog, or have visited Vespa Lexington then you know we are big fans of the rich history behind the Vespa scooter. With it’s iconic name, high quality, classic styling, and it’s FUN factor, the Vespa has been uniting scooterist around the world for years through Vespa clubs, Vespa Rallies, Vespa forums, and common interests. The Vespa has literally had a cult following for years and years. I cannot tell you how many new friends we have made from opening Vespa Lexington, just through the mutual love of riding scooters. It is insane!
Getting back on track, all of this talk of Vespa mania came to me when I found all of these really cool vintage Vespa club badges and pennants this guy in Los Angeles is selling on EBAY. These vintage badges and pennants all come from the 50’s and 60’s, and represent various Vespa clubs throughout Europe. I should have posted this earlier because time is running out on to snatch these up, so if you interested in owning a few pieces of vintage Vespa mania you better hurry up and bid. These badges and pennants would look just as good as an office or home decoration as they would on a older Vespa. Here is the background story:
“I am auctioning off my father’s collection of authentic vintage Vespa Club badges and pennants. These are not badges that you wear, these badges are meant to go on the front part of a Vespa, much like car badges that go on the front grille. My father was very active in his local Vespa Club in Northern France in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He was instrumental in bringing a European Vespa Meet to his native city of Lille. He collected badges and pennants from other Vespa Clubs around the world.”
You can view the listings here on EBAY, and you can check out some of the photos below.
