the bubble fount/font is called
anal['cooper black  italic']anal
[more anal]design in the 1920's by oswald cooper[more anal]
people think its a 60's 70's style, especially when used in conjunction with brush script, which also is pre war being from 1942

Just checked out this link.......very interesting. Seen on page 1 the style of Oakley 1 grips, and didn't realise they were dated from 1976. Are they really that old did they make them for many years after that ?

Only reason I ask, is I had some brand new ones which I had from when I restored my quad last year. I just used them because I had them knocking around and they were the right colour for the build.

Are they rare ? and what do you think they'd have been worth before I fitted them ?
