Antique early 1900's Moosehead-Whitely New York Leather Speed Punching Bag

[Salvatore Tortellini]

I don't know how to bring over the photo of the add from Ebay but I just pulled the trigger on a speed bag swivel (and an old bag that looks to damaged to be of any use). The swivel looks like the Nicols 3 screw Swivel with the exception that there is no knurling on the part of the swivel that unscrews from the embossed base. It's a dead ringer for the Nicols with the exception of this lack of knurling. The embossed base and the way the S hook is fastened with a nut looks identical. I'm wondering if anyone has any info on the Moosehead-Whitely swivel. It cost me fifty bucks but I really like the old Nicols swivel that I previously got and this one looks like it is in pretty good shape for something so old.

Just click the paperclip icon when you are creating a new thread or replying here at the forum, it will open another window where you can paste the link from the eBay photo directly into the one of the Upload File from a URL boxes. To get the large size photo from eBay, you double-click on the eBay photo if and when it says "Mouse over image to zoom", then you get a new display and you can right click each of the enlarged images when it appears on the left to get the URL for the full size image. It's a mouthful, but easy to do once you've done it. See attached image, from a different auction; I couldn't find yours.

Interesting. I got one exactly like this last year. Presented it to Donnie at Real Gymm for his new location.

Their must be a secret closet somewhere.
