And my other purchase was this Brooks C32, from the 1930s. Needs some work as it has a couple of small splits but I think its salvageable

The only old Brooks i've got is the B5n given to me by John at my LBS which is a mid 60s OE model fitted to Carltons and High End Raleighs back then, the other 4 are all this century with the possible exception of my B17n which may be a 90s.
I've also got a Swallow 2005 Limited edition (serial numbered 722 of 999 with its own certificate of ownership/authenticity and registered to me at the factory) a Swift Titanium and a B17s in green with copper plated rails and rivets.
Next one on my want list is a Flyer for the trike (I've nicked the B17s off its normal home for now cos I'm not allowed on a 2 wheeler yet) which will eventually end up on my Raleigh city bike 3spd SA/Singlespeed project (currently stripped and in the workshop) once I am back at work and not skintypoos anymore.
