vintage swivel - eBay

[paranday]

The drawing on the box shows a Whitely ball hook swivel, not the swivel that is for sale. The swivel for sale looks like it needs a bag with a belt that opens, not a fixed loop like we have today. Could still maybe use it by cable tying the bag to the swivel. Rare item.

Was wondering about this set-up. Perhaps it's not a speed bag swivel at all, and someone just stored it in the Whitely box leading the seller to assume that it was.

That's a possibility, but this bag has a similar swivel and means of attachment,

I must then stand corrected.

I still don't think that's a speed bag swivel.... but would love it if it was!

I still think it is, and the attachment method is like the swivel in the photo below. Bet someone replaced that vintage swivel with the Whitely when bags became no longer available with belt like straps, and then kept the old swivel in the Whitely box.

One of my antique speed bags had a "dog leash" type swivel sewn onto the strap. There's been an evolution of ideas over the decades.

Maybe Judge Dutchman would like to weigh in from the bench.
