There was few of these knocking about on the Museum about 3 years back now. I think they date from around 84/85, and ranged from $40 - $70. They also made a road bike sized headset that was stamped too

As far as I know these were only ever made for road/fixie type bikes not for a bmx...my brother bought about 6 of these from an old bike shop about 15 years ago

Shoot Ian ("Natsukashi") a PM as I'm sure he'll have the low down on them.

You can buy shims to fit on them that allow you to fit it to a BMX
