    Medart and Nerragansett speedbag platforms

    I have these 2 speedbag platforms medart and Nerragansett. I've been doing some research on them and the Medart is a very rare one.... Who else has one?

    Medart was primarily a supplier to institutions, hospitals, sanitariums, etc. Apparently more expensive than Narangansett they were out of the reach of most schools and gyms. I've only seen one that was intact.

      I have all the parts. Arms and drum the drum is not original. Ive seen 1 on ebay with the exact drum that I have. I think they're asking around $20,000 for it. They're that rare?

        Consider yourself extremely lucky to have both of them, That Medart platform on ebay will never sell unless someone that's rich and really wants it, there's also a Narragansett platform for sale on ebay to where the seller is also asking to much for it, and like I mentioned, that platform will never sell either unless a rich guy wants it, i came close to getting a Narragansett platform but the guy was away on a military stint, he wanted 400 for it, i offered 1,000 and an extra 500 for him to ship it out, he never saw my messages until it was to late and sold it for less than what he was asking.

          I actually just spoke with the gentleman who has the speed bag platform on ebay, he said he has a lot of sentimental value to it.Because it belonged to his father and yes, he said.If someone really wants it, they'll pay for it

                I'm assuming your asking about the Moosehead-Whitely swivel, i personally am not a fan, the vintage everlast swivels seem to have more success on sales, and i personally love the vintage everlast swivels, the first and second generation everlast swivels, i modify and fabricate the internals (install my own ball-hook into them) the first generation everlast uses a hollow big ball-hook, i use a solid steel ball with stainless steel eyebolt and my fabricated S-hook, My newest venture has been with the first gen everlast, i have sold more than a few and people are happy with both my small ball-hook and big ball-hook assemblies.

                    Looks like the eyebolt has some wear to it
