*WHOA* 1970's Vintage Royal Checkmates (Check-Mates) Club Vest

Description

AMAZING FIND!! This 1970's Vintage Royal Checkmates Club Vest is in excellent preserved condition. This rare vest is custom made, is silk lined and features the Royal Check-Mates Motorcycle Club center patch and top/bottom rockers. The lapel is adorned with 53 highly collectable AMA, RCM Club Rally and Retread pins. Among the many pins in this collection are an AMA Founder and a 1973 AMA Tour Award pin. The collection boasts at least 19 years of AMA membership pins. Many of the pins have historical relevance to the areas of the Pacific Northwest. I deal in a fair amount of vintage moto related pins and I sell them anywhere from - individually depending on the type and rarity. The provenance of this collection, still together after almost a half century, with the Club patches makes this an outstanding piece of Moto-Americana! Perfect for display at your business, shop, garage or "cave". It has a slight musty odor consistent with age and storage but physically it is perfectly wearable and measures 18" across the chest and waist, 20.5" down the back and 22.5" down the front. If you have any further information about this piece or have a personal connection to it please let me know. Thanks, ride safe.
