Its a genuine first edition Lollipop (flat with kicktail) but minus it's screen printed logo.Something I will correct when it arrives!

Don't recognise the truck brand though.

Saw a lovely rare example of the Painted rocker recently too..

If you get anymore you’ll be known as the lollipop man Adrian

thats not a good name to have in this day and age

I've been aware of this one for some time now, and finally I managed to get hold of it for my collection... A full length 40" Carver model.

It was in need of some light resto as it was dried out and the stripes were beginning to separate a little. That said, it only took less than a day to get it back to a great-looking board. It was in better condition than I expected it to be!

Here's a before and after for you...

nice,thats come up a treat! did you run out of stickers as theres space on the tail still? what are the wheels?

Ha!
The wheels are just some old Pro Am 4's (97a)

whats with the sticker? i always assumed these were screened? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146138805933 ... media=COPY

Yeah never seen one either….

Also noticed this morning a BB competition with Beadle trucks and wheels. Do the truck hole centres differ? Seems an unusual combination!

keeping it british i suppose i wonder if that lollipop was a factory second or something with that large knot hole underneath the rear wheel? so wasnt screened? maybe someone had a sticker made at a later date,wheres the benjy experts? i also noticed that the front wheels are considerably darker than the rear ones in case anyones buying it just for those

lollipops doing well, nearly £300 already

it did £360 in the end so a good price i thought,whats everyone elses opinion on it and the sticker instead of screening?

That board to me look refurbed top also looks sort of redone so my guess is someone got the vinyl cut decal done, probably never had the decal originally some didn’t , I don’t think it matters really but that’s my take on it

i never realised some were left blank on the underneath,what was the reason for that?

Here’s another from a Facebook group with identical transfer, gather sold by same sellers!

yes thats the same deck as it has the knot under the rear wheel area
